Time (The Revelator) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Darling remember, when you come to me
I'm the pretender; I'm not what I'm supposed to be
But who could know if I'm a traitor?
Time's the revelator

[Verse 2]
They caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride
The fortune lady came along, she walked beside
But every word seemed to date her
Time's the revelator, the revelator

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Up in the morning, up and on the line
Drive into Corning, and all the spindles whine
And every day is getting straighter
Time's the revelator, the revelator

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Leaving the valley, and f*cking out of sight
I'll go back to Cali where I can sleep out every night
And watch the waves and move the fader
Time's the revelator, the revelator
[Outro]
Queen of fakes and imitators
Time's the revelator
