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…
