| Well it took a long time but you’ve finally worn out your smile
|
| That’s when I knew it
|
| I’ve run outta bar a time?
|
| You always used to say that you could learn a lot through wasting time
|
| And that if you look hard
|
| You’ll see yourself in your lovers eyes
|
| Your time is near it won’t be long
|
| You’ve got to go when you’re called upon
|
| No light of day no sight of dawn
|
| Don’t turn around just walk right on You came riding into town with a black and white five and ten
|
| Said I’ll be your captain
|
| And take you back home again
|
| It’s your third time around but you know I’ll get a second wind
|
| But if we ever get there they’ll be no one there to let us in Your time is near it won’t be long
|
| You’ve got to go when you’re called upon
|
| You caught me dancing in the street last night
|
| You walked right past me into the light
|
| Packed up my souvenirs, tied my shoes, and sold my car
|
| Yes I should have known it
|
| I’d never get very far
|
| Ever since we’ve met you’ve been a hungry and a restless child
|
| You’re just like your father
|
| You know he’s got a poison mind
|
| Your time is near it won’t be long
|
| You’ve got to go when you’re called upon
|
| You said you and me we’d never will pretend
|
| But my broken soul is never gonna mend |
