And the time I spend in sorrow
And the time I spend in sorrow
The woman's like the tide, she comes and goes
And the time that's left is all I have to give
Will match the time I live
She knows the things that I can just suppose
When she'll seek the warmth of day
She wraps her twisted love around my soul
There will come a sudden winter
And there'll come a time when she will come to stay
The woman's like an ivy on a pole
Will match the time that she laughs
