Tom Waits – Time

Tom Waits – Time Lyrics

Artist: Tom Waits
Song: Time

Well the smart money’s on Harlow
And the moon is in the street
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And 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 fiance is in the mirror

And the band is going home
It’s raining hammers
It’s raining nails
And it’s true, there’s nothin’ 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, timе

And they all pretend thеy’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 Matilda asks the sailors
Are those dreams or are those prayers?
So close your eyes, son

And 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 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 till 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
