Verse 1

Come all you fair and tender

be careful how you stand

Time passes quietly

through your hands

Verse 2

Once it’s taken

you don’t see when

Only later

where it went

Chorus

Let no man

steal your thyme

Not the word

but the time

Verse 3

It’s not given

it’s not kept

It just leaves

where it was left

Verse 4

You don’t lose it

all at once

Just a little

more each time

Bridge

Nothing said

nothing wrong

Final Chorus

Let no man

steal your thyme

Only what you thought

was mine

Outro

Thyme…
