The Clock Is Ticking
Can you hear the clock ticking?
It gets louder every year,
A time piece that reminds me,
That my eternity is getting near.
Can you hear the clock ticking?
It runs faster all the time,
How many ticks do I have left?
Numbered are the days that are mine.
Can you hear the clock ticking?
It echoes in my ear,
I try not to dwell on,
My ever-growing fear.
Can you hear the clock ticking?
It keeps running never a doubt,
Like sand thru the hour glass,
Only to stop when my ticks run out.
