Time Will Show The Wiser - Fairport Convention

My mind keeps on telling me that this is no good

And my heart is aching, that tells me I should

But only time will show the wiser

I’ve fallen in love with a girl that’s not mine

If I take her, it will hurt him, a very best friend of mine

But I know that I need someone to hold, to love

And my mind says I shouldn’t, but my heart says I should

And I don’t know which to go by, my mind or my heart

And this is so confusing, it’s tearing me apart

Time, it will show the wiser

Well, I wish someone would help me, this decision is mine

And my morals and emotions are hard to combine

And there is no easy way out to limit the time

That it takes till she finds out for the love that I hide

And I don’t know which to go by, my mind or my heart

And this is so confusing, it’s tearing me apart

Time, it will show the wiser

Time, it will show the wiser

Time, it will show the wiser
