And in plays to write the wire in

I'll come back again

Torching time talking rhymes in

I'll come back again



Would you like to play

With the thought of a friend

In a distant passing stage

While you lie around

With your hands up and out

So resigned you will fall down



While you around here play

Wild on the warm and far away

While you around here play

The days keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines



Would you like to play

With a fool holding hands

With a one-eyed jack of spades

While on the deck they sing

All of the captain's cards are kings

Still he and the queen are lost at sea

I hope it isn't you or me



And I'll be back 'round again

Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend

And we'll find that place

That we had danced in so long ago

And in plays to write the wire in

I'll come back again

Torching time talking rhymes in

I'll come back again

With this resigned the letter I sign
