[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
