BROADWAY PAoEHACcH

BROADWAY PAOLAACCA 3hls is Q time when all the Inns
 are dark,
 when oil the wine has sottrec
 within the cask,
 When oil the guiding stars have
 lost their spark
 And Fate puts on Q strange and
 leering mask.
 This Is time when oil the winds
 blow cool
 And Sorrow rides the highways
 of the night
 And one who played the poor, i'm"
 pulsive Fool
 Wil grope in vain to find tho
 saving light.
 where are the songs that held us
 in their spellp Where are the VOWS we dipped
 in Faith and Youth9
 Here on the twisted road that leads
 to Hell
 There is no place for Beauty oI
 for Truth.
 This is e time when Terror stalks
 the town ...
 "A time when Jigs are up-and
 Chips are downl
