[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, it 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
