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 and 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 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
