Everything works by its tim ing
You wind the metronome
to the tempo in your ear
Tap at the window, maybe she'll answer
You count the seconds as
the phone rings
Wandering past the open dial
You wind the dancer
to the tempo of a heart
Wait as the bell rings,
tolling and chiming
The night is passing like the years
She isn't the person I first thought
But her timing was right
and my balance is wrong
But just look at her over, she's no fool
And the time in her life
will be worth more than you
Well, have to move on,
you can't beat the time
Early to rise in the morning
You walk the dog in clicky heels
and scratch his ear
He doesn't need to hurry
the day through
Like him you wish you didn't care
She was the bringer of bad news
She chose the worst days,
the worst months of the year
I never told her how much I miss her
The heartache seemed to disappear
She isn't the
person I first thought
But her timing was right
and my balance is wrong
But just look at her over, she's no fool
And the time in her life
will be worth more than you
Yeah, you'll have to move on,
you can't beat the time
She isn't the person I first thought
But her timing was right,
and my balance is wrong
We're just looking her over,
she's no fool
And the time in her life
will be worth more
Yeah, you'll have to move on,
you can't beat the time
You
