Lyrics

The streets are looking so clean today
The sweeper took all my troubles away
And all the sidewalk markings
They'll fade away (fade away, fade away)
No more houses, just vacant lots
No more neighbors to worry the cops
And all my woes and troubles
They'll fade away (fade away, fade away)
Why, tell me why
Stuck in the past if you keep on looking backwards
Oh why, tell me why
Time keeps marching on
They say that patience will heal all wounds
Nancy, Mary and what a wife too
Still hear their voices ringing out
Then fade away (fade away, fade away)
The judge decided we'll let them go
The courthouse cheered and the stenographer wrote
And soon a thousand houses
Will fade away (fade away, fade away)
Why, tell me why
Stuck in the past if you keep on looking backwards
And oh why, tell me why
Time keeps marching on
Why, tell me why
Just a street sweeper, I'm my brother's keeper
And oh why, tell me why
Time waits for no man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
