The clock of St James lookin' down through the rain at the city blackened with time
|
Alleys and the doorways are grim, the street lights dimmed from the soot and the grime
|
The pitiful scream from the Second Street bridge
|
Was drowned by the three o'clock chime
|
But the Clock of St James lookin' down through the rain knows I committed a crime
|
|
CHORUS
|
Clock of St James, Clock of St James like an eye in the sky lookin' deep in my brain
|
Seein' my weakness, seein' my shame, where can I hide from Clock of St James
|
|
The Clock of St James lookin' down through the rain lookin' at a grim pantomime
|
The body that falls from the Second Street bridge, the splash in the watery slime
|
The lights of the bridge never touchin' the hand clutchin' a dollar and dime
|
But the Clock of St James looking down through the rain knows I committed a crime
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
I run through the city, I run through the shadows of the buildings all blackened with time
|
The alleys and the doorways are grim, my hand still clutchin' the dollar and dime
|
The pitiful scream from the Second Street bridge was drowned by the three o'clock chime
|
But the clock of St James looking down through the rain knows I committed a crime
|
|
CHORUS
|
