If I Could Tell You

Jimmy Somerville, W. H. Auden

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 the lions all 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
If I could tell you
If I could tell you
If I could tell you
If I could tell you
If I could tell you
