Precious Time

He’s just sittin’ on a corner, wastin’ time

He’s just sittin’ on a corner, wastin’ time

Wastin’ all his precious time, wastin’ all his time

Everyone, never wonderin’ why

She just spends all her money, half the rent

On dresses and jewelry and playin’ cards

Playin’ cards from dawn till night

Playin’ cards all night

Everyone, never wonderin’ why

Outside the window see the people below

Life cast a shadow on their faces

He’s too lost to admit it, sends regards

To friends of the family at Christmastime

Sends regards to all he knows

Sends regards to most

Everyone, never wondering why

Outside the window see the people below

Life cast a shadow on their faces

He’s just sittin’ on a corner, wastin’ time

He’s just sittin’ on a corner, wastin’ time

Wastin’ all his precious time, wastin’ all his time

Everyone, never wondering why
