I’ve never been inside your barroom It’s the first time I’ve tasted your wine They tell me that wine numbs a memory But your memory is stronger than wine
On the wall there’s a mirror before me Reflecting what she made of me This sad looking face and tears now replace The man that I used to be
Oh, the genuine healer is time And if I can hold onto my mind And place what’s left of my heart in the hands Of the genuine healer of time
The darkness in here tells the story Of many a heartbroken man The hands on the clock never linger But they move just as slow as they can
Now I know that the whiskey won’t help me And I know there’s no comfort in wine But there’s only one thing that is stronger than love It’s the genuine healer of time
Oh, the genuine healer is time And if I can hold onto my mind And place what’s left of my heart in the hands Of the genuine healer of time.
