She can't tell time it's not listening to her
|
When faith went blind I could see light
|
through her
|
Her vigils in the street left
|
my youth incomplete
|
Left meaning obsolete
|
|
Sleep I can't sleep / she can speak
|
But she can't tell time
|
Dream I can't dream / she can scream
|
But she can't tell time
|
|
She can't tell time she didn't get
|
what she deserved
|
When faith went blind she found the truth
|
but lost her nerve
|
When she won't act her age
|
the cat circles round the cage
|
Youth shrinks to tired rage
|
