The Clock
Your browser does not support the audio element.
Time can’t be bought.
You get just one shot.
That don’t seem like a lot,
And it’s not.
The clock ticks time away
Hour to hour, day to day.
No words you can say
Will make it stay.
It reads the time true
With no regard for you.
Try to understand
That old second hand
Don’t give a damn
What you had planned.
So don’t gaze at the clock
And watch that pendulum rock.
It does no good to stare.
So live like you don’t care,
Like you just aren’t aware
That clock is there.
