Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan - Clock Of St. James lyrics

The clock of St James lookin' down through the rain at the city blackened with time Alleys and the doorways are grim, the street lights dimmed from the soot and the grime The pitiful scream from the Second Street bridge Was drowned by the three o'clock chime But the Clock of St James lookin' down through the rain knows I committed a crime CHORUS Clock of St James, Clock of St James like an eye in the sky lookin' deep in my brain Seein' my weakness, seein' my shame, where can I hide from Clock of St James The Clock of St James lookin' down through the rain lookin' at a grim pantomime The body that falls from the Second Street bridge, the splash in the watery slime The lights of the bridge never touchin' the hand clutchin' a dollar and dime But the Clock of St James looking down through the rain knows I committed a crime CHORUS I run through the city, I run through the shadows of the buildings all blackened with time The alleys and the doorways are grim, my hand still clutchin' the dollar and dime The pitiful scream from the Second Street bridge was drowned by the three o'clock chime But the clock of St James looking down through the rain knows I committed a crime CHORUS
