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...
