Well the smart moneyand's on harlow and the moon is in the street,
and the shadow boys are breaking all the laws.
and youand're east of east saint louis and the wind is making speeches,
and the rain sounds like a round of applause.
and napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
his invisible fianceeand's in the mirror.
and the band is going home, itand's raining hammers, itand's raining nails
and itand's true thereand's nothing left for him down here.
And itand's time time time, and itand's time time time
and itand's time time time that you love
and itand's time time time
And they all pretend theyand're orphans and their memoryand's like a train.
you can see it getting smaller as it pulls away.
and the things you canand't remember tell the things you canand't forget.
that history puts a saint in every dream
Well she said sheand'd stick around until the bandages came off,
but these mamaand's boys just donand't know when to quit.
and mathilda asks the sailors andquot;are those dreams or are those prayers?andquot;
so close your eyes, son, and this wonand't hurt a bit
Oh itand's time time time, and itand's time time time
and itand's time time time that you love
and itand's time time time
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
the boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street.
and when theyand're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot,
and a thousand pigeons fall around her feet.
so put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
as the dish outside the window fills with rain.
just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
and pay the fiddler off and'til i come back again
Oh itand's time time time, and itand's time time time
and itand's time time time that you love
and itand's time time time
and itand's time time time, and itand's time time time
and itand's time time time that you love
and itand's time time time
