Partners In Time

Lyrics

He was waitin' at the bustop In Hollywood at 2am I drove right by at First Then circled around again He was wearin' a Sunday suit A folded kerchief in his pocket Sittin' perfect and polite Like a nightlight in a socket I said 'excuse me sir, but these buses... They don't run this time of night And if you tell me where you're headed I could help you with a ride' And he said 'Oh I didn't know that And thank you yes you can' So I helped him up in my pickup truck A frail and kind old man Partners in time Partners in time 'Now can you give mе some direction Well that's thе first thing I should know' He said 'I'm on my way to work But I'm not sure which way to go' So I parked and we just sat there Both of us confused When finally he pushed up his suit sleeve His arm was aged and bruised He had an old silver bracelet With an address and a number He lived a couple of miles away and I said 'Now we're gettin' somewhere' Partners in time Partners in time So I headed east on Melrose And pulled right up to his home A woman in an nightgown She came runnin' out alone And as she opened up his door He put his hand on mine And he just held it for a minute Before they went inside And I went back to my apartment To stay up till the dawn I woke up in the afternoon With my workin' clothes still on Partners in time Partners in time
