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
