Lyrics
Cordell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Though once you ruled my mind,
I thought you'd always be there,
And I'll always hold onto your face,
But everything changes in time and
The answers are not always fair,
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell, time will tell,
They say that you've passed away
And I hope that you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I know that you've gone to a better place
Cordell, Cordell, Cordell...
Your lover and baby will cry,
But your presence will always remain,
Is this how it was meant to be?
You meant something more to me,
Than what many people will see
And to hell with the industry.
Cordell, time will tell,
They say that you've passed away
And I hope that you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell
We all will depart and decay
And we all will return to a better place
Cordell, Cordell, Cordell...
