Hear that old tune come driftin' down the hall Trying to put a stop to the clocks on the wall Free flowin', free flown Lord, mama, how that old thief time carries on And you just take off your old coat and let down your hair Kick off them boots, honey, I don't care, it's only time And only time will tell Well, it looks a chance with no reason not to take And it looks like our dance while the record player fakes it Hold on, King's X Well, I think I'll be the captain standing on a burning deck And you just take off your old coat and let down your hair Kick off them boots, honey, I don't care, it's only time And only time will tell So, come waltz you 'round this old room with me As if we were some old pair of high degree 'Round and 'round again Don't let old fickle stickle catch you keepin' time with a friend And you just take off your old coat and let down your hair Kick off them boots, honey, I don't care, it's only time And only time will tell (Once more!) And you just take off your old coat and let down your hair Kick off them boots hon I don't care it's only time And only time will tell
