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
