Time is on my side
Or is it?
It falls back into the attic of my past
Placing snapshots in scrapbooks
Ignoring the clock
Relishing in the past
And pretending we have all the time in the world
But meanwhile tik tock tik tock
Do I hear a clock?
Time springs forward onto the front porch
Leaving my youth in the dark
Looking for a place in my memoir
A way to not get lost
As time goes by
And a new age is upon us
I saw three moons around Jupiter tonight
And I said goodbye to my red hair
As gray set in with time in flight
Tick tock tick tock
Do I hear a clock?
Do I hear a knock
As the doors of the universe
Open again for me
Time is springing forward
Giving me one more hour of sleep
And an hour glass
That defies the moons of Jupiter.
Yes, Time is on my side.
