Testo Time - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone Time (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Big Time
And the smoke lunges on the horse
And the moon is on the streets
And the shallow boys are breaking all the laws
And it ceased to be St. 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
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 that you left
And it's time, time, time
And they all pretend they're orphans
And their memory's like a train
And you can see them getting smaller as they pull away
And the things you can't remember
Tell the things you can't forget
And history puts a saint on every dream
She said she'd stick around
Till the bandages came off
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
And Matilda asked the sailors
"Are those dreams or are those prayers?"
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 that you left
And it's time, time, time
And things are pretty lousy for the cow and the girls
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
And when she's on the road, 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 my lips
As the ditch outside the window fills with rain
And just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
Pin the flicker off until I come back again
And it's time, time, time
And it's time, time, time
And it's time, time that you left
And it's time, time, time
