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
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
Deaf ears won't listening to her
When faith went blind
I can see light through her
When she won't act her age
The cat circles 'round the cage
Youth shrinks to tired rage
Her vigils in the street
Left my youth incomplete
Left meaning obsolete
Sleep, I can't sleep
She can weep but she can't tell time
Dream, I can't dream
She can scream but she can't tell time
Sleep, I can't sleep
She can speak but 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
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
Deaf ears won't listening to her
When faith went blind
I can see light through her
When she won't act her age
The cat circles 'round the cage
Youth shrinks to tired rage
Her vigils in the street
Left my youth incomplete
Left meaning obsolete
Sleep, I can't sleep
She can weep but she can't tell time
Dream, I can't dream
She can scream but she can't tell time
Sleep, I can't sleep
She can speak but she can't tell time
