closin' time - sammy walker lyrics
[verse 1]
tell me who’ll be left to cry
as the funeral p-sses by
the statue of liberty as she’s crumblin’?
will we make her dyin’ bed
and place a wreath upon her head
and say it was bound to happen sooner or later?
[chorus]
well the curtain’s goin’ down
and the feel of an old ghost town
will soon make the clock quit turnin’ around
well the world ain’t worth a dime
when the liberty bell has ceased its chime
i think then we’ll know it’s closin’ time
[verse 2]
how can a bluebird sing
in the middle of a spring
with a broken heart of interfered direction?
how can a dewdrop fall
on a mountain once so tall
that’s been covered with a blanket of deception?
[chorus]
well the curtain’s goin’ down
and the feel of an old ghost town
will soon make the clock quit turnin’ around
well the world ain’t worth a dime
when the liberty bell has ceased its chime
i think then we’ll know it’s closin’ time
[verse 3]
in the middle of a dream
i heard the helpless children scream
as they walk the plank of a disengaged tomorrow
though we know the graves are dug
it’s been swept beneath the rug
but no more time will there be left to borrow
[chorus]
well the curtain’s goin’ down
and the feel of an old ghost town
will soon make the clock quit turnin’ around
well the world ain’t worth a dime
when the liberty bell has ceased its chime
i think then we’ll know it’s closin’ time
[verse 4]
the testimony’s read
and the last regards are said
while victorious moss is a formin’ in the alley
the master’s with the king
in the center of the ring
while the bugle sounds the doomsday grand finale
[chorus]
well the curtain’s goin’ down
and the feel of an old ghost town
will soon make the clock quit turnin’ around
well the world ain’t worth a dime
when the liberty bell has ceased its chime
i think then we’ll know it’s closin’ time
