Curtain Call Lyrics by Joe Bonamassa

Time Clocks

2021

[Verse 1]
Burnt skies and the trees are dead and grey
Aftermath of a war we never made
My grandfather, a railroad man
Not afraid of right and wrong, or how to take a stand

[Pre-Chorus]
Into the fire, against the wind
Up and down and back again
Under the bridge, over the coals
This is the march of a broken soul

[Chorus]
Step by step, one by one, you'll be counted on
Lights go up, so don't be late for the curtain call
'Cause I've never been the type to seize the moments, I'm too late
Whilе breaking down the old bricks in the wall

[Verse 2]
Dusty town south of Mandalay
Whеre she still lives to this day
Tears are hot and the trail's gone cold
Those demons follow me wherever I go

[Pre-Chorus]
Into the fire, against the wind
Up and down and back again
Under the bridge, over the coals
This is the march of a broken soul

[Chorus]
Step by step, one by one, you'll be counted on
Lights go up, so don't be late for the curtain call
'Cause I've never been the type to seize the moments, I'm too late
While breaking down the old bricks in the wall

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Burnt skies and the trees are dead and grey
Aftermath of a war we never made
My grandfather, a railroad man
Not afraid of right or wrong, or how to take a stand

[Pre-Chorus]
Into the fire, against the wind
Up and down and back again
Under the bridge, over the coals
This is the march of a broken soul

[Chorus]
Step by step, one by one, you'll be counted on
Lights go up, so don't be late for the curtain call
'Cause I've never been the type to seize the moments, I'm too late
While breaking down the old bricks in the wall
