Lyrics




You had the best, who could ask for more
A girl who was just the right kind
But you weren't satisfied with that
New adventures you had to find
The bridge you burned, her love you spurned
And you don't care how she feels
But you'll get the tinge of fate's revenge
'Cause time wounds all heels
The birds are gonna come home to roost
And you're gonna rue the day
It's gonna be Katie-bar-the-door
There's gonna be the devil to pay
No need to look in the crystal ball
To see what your future reveals
You can read the writing on the wall
'Cause time wounds all heels
After Mary there was Rosa Lee
And wasn't the next one Jane
That was a long-drawn-out affair
But you finally brought her pain
Now, every cheater is taking a chance
If from the bottom he deals
So pay the fiddler and start your dance
'Cause time wounds all heels
The birds are gonna come home to roost
And you're gonna rue the day
It's gonna be Katie-bar-the-door
There's gonna be the devil to pay
No need to look in the crystal ball
To see what your future reveals
You can read the writing on the wall
'Cause time wounds all heels
