Time

The smart money is on Harlow
 And the moon is in the street
 And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
 You're east of East St. Louis
 And the wind is making speeches
 And the rain sounds like a round of applause
 And Napoleon is weeping
 In the carnival saloon
 His invisible fiancé is in the mirror
 The band is going home
 It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
 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
 Well, they all pretend they're orphans
 And their memory's like a train
 You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
 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 boys just don't know when to quit
 Matilda asks the sailors
 Are those dreams or are those prayers
 So close your eyes, son, this won't hurt a bit
 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
 Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
 The boys just dive right off the cars
 And splash into the streets
 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
 And just like a stranger
 With the weeds in your heart
 And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again
 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 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
