Time Alone
Nancy Griffith
Chorus
Oh, the grace that true love holds
When hearts grow weary for time alone
You give it room and the warm to hold
And it'll always come home
And true love is faithful all on its own
Hearts know when they should fly alone
When the mind is rested and the heart's at ease,
Two lovers can give to each other's needs
Chorus
You can fool yourself and fool your dreams
But you can't fool your heart and you can't fool me
Love is a sailor sailing out to sea
One of these days you'll need the harbour in me
Chorus
