She Can't Tell Time Lyrics - Sam Phillips

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
