Sam Phillips - She Can’t Tell Time lyrics

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
