Though 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 passed away And I hope you've gone to a better place Time will tell, time will tell They say that you passed away And I know that you've gone to a better place Cordell, 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 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, Cordell Cordell, Cordell Nana, nana, nana, nana Nana, nana, nana, nana
