Lyrics

KEEPING TIME

Shuffling through this bar room dance hall
Leaving you behind
Even though whisky has made me unsteady
My feet are keeping time

Go find another girl
Cause I am already gone

The boss caught me taking a smoke break today
You?re fired was all he said
I told him that?s fine cause I?m done doing time
at this dirty old joint anyway

Go find another girl
Cause I am already gone

I?ll be going home
At first light I?ll be on that train
Up north all my friends they are waiting
To take me in

I miss the smell of the lilacs in springtime
I miss the green of your eyes
So leave the light on/ it?s been way too long since
I?ve seen the stars at night

Don?t find another girl
Cause I am coming home

I?ll be coming home
At first light I?ll be on that train
I?ll look for you at the station
I?ll be home again
I?ll be home again

We?ll be keeping time
We?ll be keeping time
