I was on my way back home My heart was like a stone With the stars up in the sky As they watched us say goodbye It won't hide or disguise My love, you cry As we say goodbye The time was slow I didn't want to see you go Oh no, oh no The hour won't tell you no lies The hour won't tell you no lies Tell you no lies for the sky The hour won't tell you no lies There were times he raised his hand And I could not understand
But you know my man and me We never could agree It won't hide or disguise Time, sweet time Keeping me and mine You stay true Spite of all of you Oh woe, oh woe The hour won't tell you no lies The hour won't tell you no lies Tell you no lies for the sky The hour won't tell you no lies The hour won't tell you no lies The hour won't tell you no lies Tell you no lies for the sky The hour won't tell you no lies
