[ti:Time]
[ar:Tom Waits]
[00:03.83] Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
[00:09.73] And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
[00:14.55] And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
[00:20.14] And the rain sounds like a round of applause
[00:26.13] And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
[00:31.00] His invisible fiancee's in the mirror
[00:36.44] And the band is going home,it's raining hammers,it's raining nails
[00:42.38] And it's true there's nothing left for him down here
[00:47.86] And it's time time time,and it's time time time
[00:58.53] And it's time time time that you love
[01:04.57] And it's time time time
[01:10.92] And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
[01:15.95] You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
[01:21.38] And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget
[01:26.96] That history puts a saint in every dream
[01:32.45] Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off
[01:37.63] But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
[01:43.07] And Mathilda asks the sailors "Are those dreams or are those prayers?"
[01:47.48] So close your eyes,son,and this won't hurt a bit
[01:54.85] Oh it's time time time,and it's time time time
[02:20.92] Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
[02:25.79] The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
[02:31.68] And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
[02:37.47] And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
[02:42.14] So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
[02:47.68] As the dish outside the window fills with rain
[02:53.16] Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
[02:59.71] And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again
