Only Time Will Tell

Scales and clocks just can't be trusted Keys and locks are destined to be busted Metaphors were never made for keeping score And I'm feeling for the sound of time Is it the answer or just a suggestion Is love what we truly want or merely a protection Is this music made to last or crumble like a shell Is there heaven here on earth or is this really hell? (Chorus): Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong Only time will tell, is there a message in this song? Will it eve make sense, will it ever ring a bell? Only time will tell. Are we destined to be ruled by a bunch of old white men Who compare the world to football and are programmed to defend I'd like to try a princess or a non-terrestrial Who is neither boat nor bashful Is there really such a girl Chorus Only time will tell,.... I woke up this morning feeling absolutely grand For nearly half a century I've been singing in a band I'd like to think Ill make it to two thousand and one Will the party be at my house? God, I wonder who will come... --- Only Time Will Tell - Jimmy Buffett
