Rosanne Cash - Time Lyrics
The smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
And the shadow boys are breakin' all the laws
Oh and it's east of East St. Louis and the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
His invisible fiancée is in the mirror
and the band is goin' 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
It's time time time
It's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
Oh and the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget
That history puts a saint in every dream
Oh 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 asks the sailors are those dreams or are those prayers
Close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit
And it's time time time
It's time time time
It's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
Oh and things are pretty lousy for the calendar girls
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
Oh and when she's 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 my lips
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
Oh and just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
Pay the fiddler off till I come back again
And it's time time time
It's time time time
It's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
It's time time time that you love
And it's time time time

Rosanne Cash Time Comments
I'm 62 and since mid '70 Tom Waits is my favourite artist. Thank you Tom. Love from Greece.
Sadly, he is an American treasure that most citizens have never heard of!
Best version i have heard.
This is going to be a great album. Can't wait to hear everyone else. I've always loved the imagery of this song. Love hearing Rosanne singing it. Very nice arrangement.
