At a quarter to midnight Lays a corner stone You can read by the moonlight Aloud and alone And from over your shoulder It's courting your soul
Does it tell you your fortune Or say nothing at all In your dreams, you're Montana skies In your dreams, you're a ruby and sapphire prize In your eyes something to see In your eyes pastures of green
In the company quarters, the company stores Days make him the bargain that it made before
All the people are gathered ringing round about Keep their parts in their pockets, bring that company down In history, wayfarin' armies, cavalries above and beyond Some were made of mothers and babies Some were made of mother's own young
In a small dark alley where the sun won't go There has got to be something could be diamonds and pearls All the people are gathered ringing round about Keep their parts in their pockets, find that dark alley out O mystery, gem of the moment Chivalry got lost in your smile Some may say there's nothing to comment Some may stay silent a while.
