Maria McKee - Precious Time

He's just sittin' on a corner, wastin' time
He's just sittin' on a corner, wastin' time
Wastin' all his precious time, wastin' all his time
Everyone, never wonderin' why
She just spends all her money, half the rent
On dresses and jewelry and playin' cards
Playin' cards from dawn 'til night
Playin' cards all night
Everyone, never wonderin' why

Outside the window, see the people below
Life cast a shadow on their faces

He's too lost to admit it, sends regards
To friends of the family at Christmastime
Sends regards to all he knows
Sends regards to most
Everyone, never wonderin' why

Outside the window, see the people below
Life cast a shadow on their faces

He's just sittin' on a corner, wastin' time
He's just sittin' on a corner, wastin' time
Wastin' all his precious time, wastin' all his time
Everyone, never wonderin' why
