    Let The Time Take Care

    by: Stone Fury

    You gotta let the time take care
    You know, do so
    There's just no logic in this state
    Of love, of love
    You gotta let the time take care
    I know you've got the feeling
    And no one cares at all
    I say that's not true
    Don't go and hide
    You gotta let...
    When your heart is bleeding
    Listen to the song
    Cry it out of you
    And no one will know
    Look up in the mirror
    What is that you see
    A human full of life
    You'll be just fine
