Tick, Tock

For Beth (my Shebear)


Tick tock, tick tock,
the lens fell off the clock,
you're not here, my thoughts unclear,
a million seconds fall away,

Tick tock, tick tock,
the hands fell off the clock,
no sweet embrace, no lovely face,
a million seconds fall away,

Tick tock, tick tock,
the springs fell off the clock,
my thoughts unclear, you're still not here,
a million seconds fall away.
