Bettye LaVette - Time Will Do The Talking Lyrics

Lyrics Time Will Do The Talking - Bettye LaVette



Daddy, you were so cruel
I hated being your fool
So, I got a little bit more mud on my face
But the years are gonna bring
A bigger scheme of things
And make a pretty memory out of my disgrace
I don't believe there is such a thing as saying too much
No, I don't
There are those who like to look and those who ain't afraid to touch
Let me tell you
Time gone do the talking
Years will do the walking
I'm gon' find me a comfy spot and just wait the whole thing out
Time gone do the talking
Years will do the walking
Time gon' tell you, baby, what you can't hear now
Well, we dig our heels in and wondering who's gonna win this
Who is gonna win this thing or wear the whole thing out
Change locks on the door
Learn how to take a little bit more
I can outrun all the devils here, but I just can't outrun doubt
Don't throw away all your money on 2020 vision
'Cause the world just ain't gon' wait for politics or indecision
Can I tell you time do the talking
And years will do the walking?
I'm gon' find me a comfy spot and just wait the whole thing out
Time gon' do the talking
And years will do the walking
Time gon' tell you, baby, what you can't hear now
Can you hear the voice inside you?
Is calling you back where you belong
Can you see the one beside you?
She's been standing there all alone
Baby, time gon' do the talking
Years gon' do the walking
I'm gon' find me a comfy spot and just wait the whole thing out
Time gon' do the talking
Years gon' do the walking
Time gon' tell you, baby, what you can't hear now
Time, time, time gon' tell you, baby
Time and the years
Time
