Sammy Walker Closin' Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me who'll be left to cry
As the funeral passes by
The Statue of Liberty as she's crumblin'?
Will we make her dyin' bed
And place a wreath upon her head
And say it was bound to happen sooner or later?

[Chorus]
Well the curtain's goin' down
And the feel of an old ghost town
Will soon make the clock quit turnin' around
Well the world ain't worth a dime
When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime
I think then we'll know it's closin' time

[Verse 2]
How can a bluebird sing
In the middle of a spring
With a broken heart of interfered direction?
How can a dewdrop fall
On a mountain once so tall
That's been covered with a blanket of deception?

[Chorus]
Well the curtain's goin' down
And the feel of an old ghost town
Will soon make the clock quit turnin' around
Well the world ain't worth a dime
When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime
I think then we'll know it's closin' time

[Verse 3] In the middle of a dream
I heard the helpless children scream
As they walk the plank of a disengaged tomorrow
Though we know the graves are dug
It's been swept beneath the rug
But no more time will there be left to borrow

[Chorus]
Well the curtain's goin' down
And the feel of an old ghost town
Will soon make the clock quit turnin' around
Well the world ain't worth a dime
When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime
I think then we'll know it's closin' time

[Verse 4]
The testimony's read
And the last regards are said
While victorious moss is a formin' in the alley
The master's with the king
In the center of the ring
While the bugle sounds the doomsday grand finale

[Chorus]
Well the curtain's goin' down
And the feel of an old ghost town
Will soon make the clock quit turnin' around
Well the world ain't worth a dime
When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime
I think then we'll know it's closin' time
