Though once you ruled my mind
i thought you'd always be there
and i'll always hold onto 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 that 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, 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
