paroles de chanson Time - Rosanne Cash

The smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And it's east of East 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 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
You can see them getting smaller as they pull away
Oh and the things you can't remember
Tell the things you can't forget
That history puts a saint in every dream

And she said she'd stick around 'til 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 'til 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
