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 Send " Time" Ringtone to your Cell
