Time
Tom Waits
from the album Rain Dogs (1985)
D
Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
G A D
And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
G A D
And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
G A
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
D
And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
G A D
His invisible fiancee's in the mirror
G A D
And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
G A
And it's true there's nothing left for him down here
D A D G D/F# A
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
D F#m Bm Em
And it's time time time that you love
D A D
And it's time time time
D
And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
G A D
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
G A D
And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget
G A
That history puts a saint in every dream
D
Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off
G A D
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
G A D
And Mathilda asks the sailors "Are those dreams or are those prayers?"
G A
So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit
D A D G D/F# A
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
D F#m Bm Em
And it's time time time that you love
D A D
And it's time time time
D
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
G A D
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
G A D
And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
G A
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
D
So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
G A D
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
G A D
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
G A
And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again
D A D G D/F# A
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
D F#m Bm Em
And it's time time time that you love
D A D
And it's time time time
