True Love And Time

Tommy Makem

If I had wings, I'd fly the mountains

If I had a boat, I'd sail the sea

The dreary miles are long and lonesome

That lie between my love and me



Chorus:

True love and time go on forever

But love and distance cannot agree

When true love calls, a man will find it

Just like a river will find the sea



My true love lives in a quiet valley

Where sweet, warm winds, they always blow

I left her there to seek my fortune

Though why I left her, I'll never know



Chorus



Come rain or shine, I'll start tomorrow

To where my heart can find some rest

And I won't mind the long hard journey

I'll find the one that I love best



Chorus
