Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Oh the thirst and desire to be young
the longing and lust of a passion gone
my skelton structure so thin and stiff
I know now death will not be long
Tick Tock
Hold my hands, caress my face
look into my eyes and see God's loving grace
His pendlum never ages and always sways without time
as I bend to my knees I can hear the lonely chime
Tick Tock
Don't lay me down because I'm aging and old
but lift me up to Rainbows I could once leap of yellow and gold
never worrying about the pendlum
it's chimes were always so sweet and long
Tick Tock
The night has come
The chimes have sung
by twight light I will be gone
Tick Tock
