stuck in the middle with I: on patience

. . .spend all your time waiting for that second chance, for the break that will make it okay; there's always some reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day; I need some distraction or a beautiful release, memories seep from my veins; let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight. . . SARAH MCLACHLAN

I told you so

time will say nothing but
I told you so,
time only knows the price
we have to pay;
if I could tell you
I would let you know

if we should weep when
clowns put on their show,
if we should stumble
when musicians play,
time will say nothing but
I told you so

there are no fortunes
to be told, although,
because I love you
more than I can say,
if I could tell you
I would let you know

the winds must come from
somewhere when they blow,
there must be reasons
why the leaves decay;
time will say nothing but
I told you so

perhaps the roses
really want to grow,
the vision seriously
intends to stay;
if I could tell you
I would let you know

suppose all the lions
get up and go,
and all the brooks
and soldiers run away;
will time say nothing but
I told you so?

if I could tell you
I would let you know
