It's Not Time Now

(album: The Voice Of Scott McKenzie - 1967)

I'd like to tell you that it's fine but it's not time now
I can't seem to get a word and it was anyhow
Though the words are flying fast it just don't mean a thing
In a little while I could tell you everything.

But we've taken sights in anger and we can't back down
Now we're fighting just to bring the other down
And if you think to stop it now
Then the next time we'll know how.

I'd like to break it to you gently were we go wrong
If the rock begins a-rolling we just tag along
If at first we pick the loved things that we both lack
Then before we think to stop we're into hurting back.

Then an avanlanche of answers must be found too fast
Hasty may just when we should build the last
Love what we lack like what we share
Correction comes with time to spare.

But we've taken sights in anger and we can't back down
Now we're fighting just to bring the other down
And if you think to stop it now
Then the next time we'll know how.

I'd like to tell you that it's fine but it's not time now
I can't seem to get a word and it was anyhow
Though the words are flying fast it just don't mean a thing
In a little while I could tell you everything.

But we've taken sights in anger and we can't back down
Now we're fighting just to bring the other down
And if you think to stop it now
Then the next time we'll know how.
