Clock Of St James Lyrics

Clock Of St James lyrics

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 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 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 is 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



Clock of St James clock of St James...







I run through the city I run through the shadows of the buildings all blackened
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...
