Clock Of St. James

The clock of St James lookin' down through the rain

At the city blacken with time

Alleys and the doorways are grim the street lights dim

From the circle to grime

The pityful 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

Clock of St James clock of St James clockin' time 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 pan of mine

The body that falls from the second street bridge

Is splashin' the watery swine

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

Clock of St James clock of St James...

I run through the city I run through the shadows

Of the buildings all blocken with time

Alleys and the doorways are grim my hand still

Clutchin' a dollar and dime

The pityful 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

Clock of St James clock of St James...
