Lyrics
THE WRONG MAN AT THE RIGHT TIME
The clock was ticking on her maternal dream.
She kept betting on the wrong horse.
The favorite wasn't coming in.
And there he was,
The smoke in her clear blue eyes.
She was taking what was left,
Right or wrong.
Right out of left field
With hope against hope,
She found the joker in a house of cards.
He was the wrong man at the right time.
Now you can listen to the patter of her little defeats.
This is the man she's making love to.
He is everything he pretends to be.
With a heart as empty
As a church on Monday morning,
She's wearing it now
On someone else's sleeve.
Now he doesn't make mistakes,
But she did.
Life has no second takes,
So she takes it.
