[Verse 1]
There’s a ship out on the harbor
Carrying my love
I ain’t gonna wait forever
I ain’t a turtledove
But if I’m to be without you
A man without a home
I decided long ago
[Verse 2]
But the apple is falling
Far from the tree
I ain’t gonna love nobody, you or me
And I ain’t made for something
Bigger than myself
Take me with you
On your way to hell
[Chorus]
How dark, how heavy
How long, how many
Would it take to change a man?
And I will sit beside you
And I know the right cue
And baby, I am right on time
[Verse 3]
Rode the horses in the stable
For any road
Maybe it is Maple
She is far from her home
And if I am to run my
Hands down your neck
It is final without regret
[Chorus]
How dark, how heavy
How long, how many
Would it take to change a man?
And I will sit beside you
And I know the right cue
And baby, I am right on time
[Outro]
Baby, I am right on time
Baby, I am right on time
Baby, I am right on time
Baby, I am right on time
Baby, I am right on time
