1
Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
2
And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
3
And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
4
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
5
And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
6
His invisible fiancee's in the mirror
7
And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
8
And it's true there's nothing left for him down here
9
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
10
And it's time time time that you love
11
And it's time time time
12
And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
13
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
14
And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget
15
That history puts a saint in every dream
16
Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off
17
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
18
And Mathilda asks the sailors "Are those dreams or are those prayers?"
19
So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit
20
Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
21
And it's time time time that you love
22
And it's time time time
23
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
24
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
25
And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
26
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
27
So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
28
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
29
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
30
And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again
31
Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
32
And it's time time time that you love
33
And it's time time time
34
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
35
And it's time time time that you love
36
And it's time time time
