About

“Rain Dogs” is Waits' most famous album and amongst all the drunken New Orleans jazz and shady noir characters is his most beautiful ballad ‘Time’. Each verse finds a different character who is enduring emotional trauma that can only be healed by time’s passing; hence the chorus line “It’s time, tim...

Time [Big 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

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
And it is time
And it's time
And it's 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

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
And it's time time time
And it's 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
And it is time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time

And it's time time time
And it is time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
