Time — текст песни (Tom Waits)

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
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
His invisible fiance is in the mirror
The band is going home
It`s raining hammers, it`s raining nails
Yes, it`s true, there`s nothing left for him down here
Chorus:
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
And they all pretend they`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 mamas boys just don`t know when to quit
And Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams
Or are those prayers
So just close your eyes, son
And this won`t hurt a bit
Chorus
Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the streets
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 his lips
Till 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
