There was time for the laughter and time for the rain Time for the people who don't know my name Time for everything, I know it's true And I know that I should have had more time for you So, lock all the windows, close all the doors And don't let me go out runnin' no more Lock all the windows, close all the doors And don't let me go out runnin' no more But there so many places that I've never been So many faces a-callin' me friend L. A. is pretty and New York is cold And Chicago is just an old story I've told So, lock all the windows, close all the doors And don't let me go out runnin' no more Lock all the windows, close all the doors And don't let me go out runnin' no more But the hands of the clock keep on goin' around And the calendar pages keep fallin' on down Come follow me, then, wherever I go And when we'll get home here, I really don't know We'll lock all the windows, close all the doors And we'll go out runnin' just like before We'll lock all the windows, close all the doors And we'll go out runnin' just like before
