Scott Walker - 'Til the Band Comes In lyrics

Here on the outskirts of life It's a world with the voice of a caretaker's wife I'm leaving tomorrow don't let it bring you down Stick around and around and around and around. 'Til the band comes in And the clouds begin to open 'Til the band comes in And we hear them all as one I'll be back again If you promise that you'll write me 'Til the band comes rollin' in. Keep your friends With their windows so high Keep your city With children that shine through it's eye If you need me to move thru' You know where I'm found Still alive with my subhuman sound to the ground. 'Til the band comes in And the clouds begin to open 'Til the band comes in And we hear them all as one I'll be back again If you promise that you'll write me 'Til the band comes rollin' in. The times we sat and sang of all the hidden things we knew Did they ever come up true Can't remember, can't remember And it's the time to sing a song Across the emptiness between us And remember.
