Precious Time Songtext

von The Jayhawks

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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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
