Marking Up Time
WHAT IS THE TIME? I AM LATE I THINK
MAYBE I WILL HAVE TIME FOR A DRINK
NOTHING TO RUSH FOR NOT TODAY
TODAY IS THE DAY I AM GOING AWAY
WHERE AM I GOING? WELL I DON’T REALLY KNOW
I AM SURE I WILL REMEMBER BEFORE I GO
I HAVE PACKED MY CASE AND HAVE MY CAR
I WILL BE DRIVING AWAY SOON QUITE FAR
I AM MARKING UP TIME SO I MUST GET ON
I WILL BE BACK BEFORE I KNOW I HAVE GONE
DREAMING OF THE SEA SO BLUE AND GREY
ITS NEARLY TIME FOR ME TO GO AWAY
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING ON MY JOURNEY SOON
BUT I WAS WRONG IT’S IN AUGUST NOT JUNE
SORRY TO SAY THAT IT ISN’T JUST NOW
I HAVE MY DATES ALL MIXED UP SOMEHOW
SO I AM MARKING UP TIME UNTIL THAT DATE
BUT UNTIL THEN I WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT
MARKING UP TIME I AM LOSING THE PLOT
OH WHAT A MEMORY I HAVE GOT
