Once you ruled my mind, 
I thought you'd always be there. 
And I'll always hold on to 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 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 [X7]

Your lover and baby will cry, 
But your presense will always remain, 
Is this how it was meant to be? 
You meant something more to me, 
That what many people will see, 
And to hell with the endless dream. 

Cordell, 
Time will tell, 
They say that you've passed away, 
And I hope 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 [X7]
Na, na, na...
