THE HARLEQUIN
As sung by Alex Glasgow on "Songs of Alex Glasgow, Vol. 1 & 2" (1995)

CHORUS: Turn up your coat collar.
Direct your steps to the river.
Down by the grey water
The harlequin is singing
Songs from his deep,
From his deep well of sorrow.
Turn up your coat collar.
Lean into the wind.

1. The man who never blinks is ready waiting in the shadows,
Ready with his knuckles gleaming white.
The man who never blinks is wearing jackboots in the shadows,
And his clicking heels resound into the night. CHORUS

2. The clock has found the time to turn his face toward your brother,
And you turn your face towards him too.
The hands you see are yours; the time is your time come tomorrow,
And the minutes left are noticeably few. CHORUS
