That old time feelin¡¯
|
Goes sneekin¡¯ the hall
|
Like an old grey tomcat in winter
|
Keeping his back to the wall
|
|
That old time feelin¡¯
|
Goes stumbling up the street
|
Like an old salesman kickin¡¯
|
Papers away from his feet
|
|
That old time feelin¡¯
|
Draws circles around the block
|
Like a woman with any children
|
Holding hands with the clock
|
|
That old time feelin¡¯
|
Falls on its face in a park
|
Like an old wino wonderin¡¯
|
If hell make it till it gets dark
|
|
That old time feelin¡¯
|
Comes and goes in the rain
|
Like an old man with his checkers
|
Dying to find him a game
|
|
That old time fellin¡¯
|
Plays for beer in a bar
|
Like an old blues time picker
|
Who don¡¯t recall who you are
|
|
That old time fellin¡¯
|
Limps through the light on a crutch
|
Like an old soldier a wonderin¡¯
|
If he¡¯s paid too much
|
|
That old time feelin¡¯
|
Rocks and spits and cries
|
Like an old lover rememberin¡¯
|
The girl with the clear blue eyes
|
|
That old time feelin¡¯ ¡¦
|
