Lyrics for The Cloth - Version 2

A man of straw and cloth of gold Lighter than an idol from far away Bringing colour and fire into a dreary night Tomorrow sends the pain A whisper to the right crowd The word goes around The eyes have arrived And the boys in the shop Continue to bop Their number days away A man of straw and cloth of gold Look to the clock Look to the clock Look to the clock
