Strawbs - Tell me what you see in me

My ship sails in
On a cloud of broken promises.
It's just not true
Not a single word he says.
Time will tell
Whether I can change his ways.
It might take years,
It might even take always.

Tell me what you see in me,
And I'll tell you what I see in you.

Your picture melts
Before my tired eyes.
And all it leaves
Is just a trace of paradise.
You'll change again.
That's what I've been told.
But don't take long
Or I might get too old.

Take it easy,
But take it slow,
For who knows which way next
That wind will blow.
Time goes by
As quickly as I want it to.
And I'll make out
Like I never knew.
