Precious Time

He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time

He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time

Wasting all his precious time, wasting all his time

Everyone, never wondering why

She just spends all her money, half the rent

On dresses and jewelry and playing cards

Playing cards from dawn 'til night

Playing cards all night

Everyone, never wondering 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 christmas time

Send regards to all he knows

Sends regards to most

Everyone, never wondering why

He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time

He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time

Wasting all his precious time, wasting all his time

Everyone, everyone, never wondering why
