Time lyrics

Artist  : Tom Waits 
Song : Time



 Send "Time" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Well the smart money’s on harlow and the moon is
in the street
And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you’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 fiancee’s in the mirror
And the band is going home, it’s raining hammers,
it’s raining nails
And it’s true there’s nothing left for him down
here

And it’s time time time, and it’s time time time
And it’s time time time that you love
And it’s time time time

And they all pretend they’re orphans and their
memory’s like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can’t remember tell the things
you can’t forget
That history puts a saint in every dream

Well she said she’d stick around until the
bandages came off
But these mama’s boys just don’t know when to
quit
And mathilda asks the sailors "are those
dreams or are those prayers? "
So close your eyes, son, and this won’t hurt a
bit

Oh it’s time time time, and it’s time time time
And it’s time time time that you love
And it’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 they’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 ’til I come back again

Oh it’s time time time, and it’s time time time
And it’s time time time that you love
And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time, and it’s time time time
And it’s time time time that you love
And it’s time time time
