Time Will Cure Me by Planxty Lyrics

Lonely, the life that I once led

Strange the paths on which we tread

Led me to you, unlikely but true

Sabra girl, clouding my view

Rainy, the day the first time we met
Deep was the talk as we lay on your bed
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone

Early, the morning and sad the goodbye
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye
So lately did meet, no sooner to part
Sabra girl, homeward must start

Rosy, the lines that you wrote with your hand
Reading between them to misunderstand
I made the mistake you said not to make

Yes, reading your letters conviction did grow
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go
It's hard to believe I could be so naive
Sabra girl, flattered but to deceive

Now you just told me that a friendship is all
I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall
Illusions and dreams as usual it seems
Sabra girl, they have been my downfall

Lonely, the life and dismal the view
Closed is the road that leads to you
Since better can't be as friends we'll agree
Sabra girl, time will cure me
