The Clock Keeps Winding Down

The clock keeps winding down Written By Dean Masciarelli October 16, 2010 (10:01am) The clock keeps winding down Like it does for every one And I’ve been wondering If I’ve been running out of time But the good Lord is the only one That truly knows the hour and the day when my life will come to a final end I just hope and pray that it wont happen real soon Because I still have a mountain to climb and a hell of a lot of living that must be done And hopefully if I am truly lucky I can honestly live to be the ripe old age of one hundred and one
