Lyrics
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?
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 ever 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
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 ever make sense, will it ever ring a bell?
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 I'll make it to 2001
Will the party be at my house?
God, I wonder who will come
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 ever make sense, will it ever ring a bell?
Only time will tell
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 ever make sense on this crazy carousel?
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
