Only Time Will Tell

By: Jimmy Buffett

1996

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

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

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

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

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

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

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

hoo hoo hoo hoo

Only time will tell
