Jimmy Buffett - Only Time Will Tell lyrics

[Jimmy Buffett - Only Time Will Tell 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 boast 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 two thousand and one
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

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
