I tried to keep the rhithm true, sometimes at the expense of meaning or
proper english :) see what you make of it

Got The Time
------------
Rain is pouring down,
Has been, does and will,
On my watch its 6,
In my pockets - nil.
All the smokes are gone,
And the lighter's gone.
Check for lights in windows -
And I see none.
Chorus
Got the time, but lack the dough
And really got no place to go
Everybody's off,
Leaving me behind,
I am stuck in circles
Of the wrong kind.
I just want to drink,
I just want to eat,
I just want to find me
Some place to sit.

Night
=====
Witnessed the night
-------------------
We left from the house
When windows around us
Gave up on the fun,
One after one.
We saw that last trolley
Was leaving
And we stayed behind.
Cabs are still there,
But we have no fare
And we have no reason
To go anywhere
We're walking alone,
The tape has ran out
So rewind.
Chorus
Witnessed the night,
Walked through the night
Until dawn
Come into a phone booth
And tell them
To close the door
To where we were,
We gonna walk bare,
So strip off your shoes,
Feel the stone.
We've got some smokes
And some matches,
A bottle of wine
That opens the mind,
That builds faith
Of everyone sleeping
And us two alone.

Close the doors after me
------------------------
They say they're unable to take the risks
They got their house and their needs,
The house is bright with the lights.
And I'm uncertain of who's got it right,
Awaited by rain in the streets,
While they are awaited by brides.
Chorus
Close the doors after me
Because I am out.
And once you get tired someday of the same tender light,
Amongst us you'll find a spot,
There's plenty of rain to go 'round,
Look at the portrait, look at the shade on the wall,
Listen to what is outside,
You will hear our sound.
Earth, Heaven, War
-----------------------------
Show me the people
Who're certain of what is to come
Show me the portraits
Of those who died on the way.
Show me the one
Who survived when his whole squad got whacked
But some became doors,
And some became locks,
And some became keys that unlocked.
Chorus
Earth, heaven,
Between the earth and the heaven
A war carries on,
And whether you care,
And no matter where,
Between the earth and the heaven
A war carries on.
Someplace there're people
Who differ the spring from the fall,
Someplace there're people
Who've fathered a boy or a girl,
Someplace there're people
For whom every theorem holds,
But some become walls,
And some become shoulders
That manage the weight of the walls.

Summer
------
I am shutting off the TV,
I am writing you my bit,
About the fact that I no longer
Manage staring at this shit,
That I am running out of funk,
That I am almost always drunk,
But still remember you.
About the fact that phone rang,
And wished that I would stand upright,
Put on my clothes and take a walk,
Or, more precisely, run and fight.
But I have told it to be quiet,
That I am ill and got no might
And haven't slept all night.
Chorus
I await your answer,
All other hopes are cancelled,
It's almost the end of summer,
Bummer.
Now, weather's giving us a treat,
It has been raining four days straight,
While on the radio they claimed
It will be boiling in the shade.
Still, in the shade that I am in,
For now its warm and pretty dry,
But I am afraid - for now.
And days keep passing in a blink,
A day to eat, then three to drink,
But life is fun or so we think,
Although its raining and that stinks.
My deck has broken, sound died,
I'm sitting here in the quiet,
And feeling quiet right.
There's construction 'cross the street,
A crane is working, running hot,
Around the corner is a diner
That has been forever shut.
Next to the window stands a jar,
And in it sits a tullip's bud,
And glasses fill the spot.
And on and on, the years go 'round,
And soon the life has reached its bound,
And every time a sandwich falls
The side with butter hits the ground,
But, may be, once will come the day,
But, may be, once will come the time,
When luck takes our route.
