My Time of Day
[Intro]
Thank you for bringing me back
I must have behaved very badly
No, you were fine
What time is it?
I dunno, 4 o'clock
This is your time of day, isn't it?
I'm not usually up this late
How do you like it?
So peaceful and wonderful
You're finding out something I've known for quite a while
[Verse 1]
My time of day is the dark time
A couple of deals before dawn
When the street belongs to the cop and the janitor with the mop
And the grocery clerks are all gone
[Verse 2]
When the smell of the rain-washеd pavement
Comes up clеan and fresh, and cold
And the streetlamp light
Fills the gutter with gold
[Refrain]
That's my time of day, my time of day
And you're the only doll I've ever wanted to share it with me
[Outro]
Obediah
Obediah? What's that
Obediah Masterson, that's my real name
You're the first person I ever told it to
