| It was not his idea
|
| To leave the city after Korea
|
| For a Chinese wedding by a circus tent
|
| All the time at the foundry
|
| Dying in between the boundaries
|
| So he left his baby there to pay the rent
|
| I see him down by the crumbling seawalls
|
| Am I the only one who hears him when he calls?
|
| Call me the witch
|
| Here to paint the town that time forgot
|
| Throwin' the switch
|
| To illuminate the isle of forget-me-nots
|
| She was married to a merchant marine
|
| Who her father thought a philistine
|
| Peddling kerosene in a surplus store
|
| On a night so clear
|
| Seeing that his vessel was near
|
| She walked off the end of the pier, lo and behold
|
| She says «Sister, can you tell my story?
|
| I’m still waiting for some final glory»
|
| Call me the witch
|
| Here to paint the town that time forgot
|
| Throwin' the switch
|
| To illuminate the isle of forget-me-nots
|
| And out in the rain, I saw the face of Stephen Crane
|
| And he says to me, «Thanks for the memories»
|
| Made a vow I can never repeat
|
| To know the shadows on Madison Street
|
| They all know my name and tell me hello
|
| Never said I was their boss
|
| I’m just livin' in the land of the lost
|
| Where the last battalion tossed the coins in the row
|
| You can hide in your candy museum
|
| With the mail-order bride, but the fog is comin' in
|
| Call me the witch
|
| Here to paint the town that time forgot
|
| Throwin' the switch
|
| Here to illuminate the isle of forget-me-nots
|
| Call me the witch
|
| Oh, call me the witch
|
| Ah, call me the witch |
