Wristwatch…
Wind my wrist,
Tell the time.
How wrong am I?
To want to sleep just a little more,
Get a little bored,
With all my fantasy,
Before reality.
Timid with my spoon full,
Of liquid food goo,
T’is lunch at this place “Boon”…
A restaurant I just made up.
Time tells,
T'is time to meet my mate,
Make us a folly with fate,
Make a mess while at it.
Known no order, broke all laws,
Terrible disaster,
Found a master.
Of time long after,
Memory charms laughter.
At night with a hurried jest,
Of proud influences had on a table,
Time tells I need my rest,
But man dwells in the night like hell.
Why aim at the devil,
With a gun at his back,
What if you miss?
Where will time hide you?
Wrist watch …
Long have you been with me,
Devoted forever to steer me right,
By day and by night,
When I wash,
When I eat,
When I sleep,
Like a doll on my baby’s side.
Wrist watch,
Time tell,
I need to live. I need to leave…
Make my exit soon,
Sooner,
Or maybe later,
Till I love again,
Like I have you,
Who tells me,
When time turns,
And finds me tending,
To creep past it,
By it,
Until I find myself once again,
A little older than I was before…
A little wiser for another encounter,
With you side by side,
Wrist watch.
