Time Will Cure Me Planxty

Lonely, the life that I once led

Strange the paths on which we tread

Led me to you, unlikely but true

Sabra girl, clouding my view

Rainy, the day the first time we met
Deep was the talk as we lay on your bed
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone

Early, the morning and sad the goodbye
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye
So lately did meet, no sooner to part
Sabra girl, homeward must start

Rosy, the lines that you wrote with your hand
Reading between them to misunderstand

I made the mistake you said not to make

Yes, reading your letters conviction did grow
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go
It's hard to believe I could be so naive
Sabra girl, flattered but to deceive
