And in plays to write the wire in I'll come back again Torching time talking rhymes in I'll come back again
Would you like to play With the thought of a friend In a distant passing stage While you lie around With your hands up and out So resigned you will fall down
While you around here play Wild on the warm and far away While you around here play The days keep scribbling themselves In tidy lines
Would you like to play With a fool holding hands With a one-eyed jack of spades
While on the deck they sing All of the captain's cards are kings Still he and the queen are lost at sea I hope it isn't you and me
And I'll be back round again Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend And we'll find that place That we had danced in so long ago
And in plays to write the wire in I'll come back again Torching time talking rhymes in I'll come back again With this resigned The letter I sign
