Select language to translate this lyric
Itâs impatience thatâs holding back the clocks
Itâs a life of dates and documents
The soul searchers wheel and deal
If youâre looking for repentance
Theyâll hand you down a sentence
Far away in pittsburg or paris
Loveâs for sale and so reasonably priced
The answers are few and far between
It just bed sheets, my friend
Theyâre blowin?in the wind
Chorus
Tombstone, tombstone i know your face
One day iâll meet you down at that special place
The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire
And i canât tell a shooting star from a bird on fire
Tombstone, tombstone
Tombstone, tombstone
Thereâs a pump organ that lives on air
I can hear it from the market place
Pallid mourners in the crowd
Some are withered but alive
Where a burnin?past can find
The parishioners pour into the square
Thinking there before his grace go i
By they are mum with deafened ears
The neediest of sinners
Will forget it before dinner
Chorus
Tombstone, tombstone
I know your face
One day iâll meet you down at that special place
The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire
And i canât tell a shooting star from a bird on fire
Tombstone, tombstone
Tombstone, tombstone
Are you the jailer or will you set me free
How many misdemeanors can one felony
Tombstone
Chorus
Tombstone, tombstone
I know your face
One day iâll meet you down at that special place
The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire
And i canât tell a shooting star from a bird on fire
Tombstone, tombstone
Tombstone, tombstone
Tombstone, tombstone
