Tom Waits - Time Lyrics
Well the smart moneys on harlow and the moon is in the streetAnd the shadow boys are breaking all the lawsAnd youre east of east saint louis and the wind is making speechesAnd the rain sounds like a round of applauseAnd napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloonHis invisible fiancees in the mirrorAnd the band is going home, its raining hammers, its raining nailsAnd its true theres nothing left for him down hereAnd its time time time, and its time time timeAnd its time time time that you loveAnd its time time timeAnd they all pretend theyre orphans and their memorys like a trainYou can see it getting smaller as it pulls awayAnd the things you cant remember tell the things you cant forgetThat history puts a saint in every dreamWell she said shed stick around until the bandages came offBut these mamas boys just dont know when to quitAnd mathilda asks the sailors are those dreams or are those prayers?So close your eyes, son, and this wont hurt a bitOh its time time time, and its time time timeAnd its time time time that you loveAnd its time time timeWell things are pretty lousy for a calendar girlThe boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the streetAnd when theyre on a roll she pulls a razor from her bootAnd a thousand pigeons fall around her feetSo put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lipsAs the dish outside the window fills with rainJust like a stranger with the weeds in your heartAnd pay the fiddler off til I come back againOh its time time time, and its time time timeAnd its time time time that you loveAnd its time time timeAnd its time time time, and its time time timeAnd its time time time that you loveAnd its time time time
