Standard (EADGBE)

 Form:

Lying in my bed,

 I hear the clock tick,

 And think of you.

Caught up in circles.

 Confusion is nothing new.

You say, “Go slow.”

I fall behind.

The second hand unwinds.

If you’re lost,You can look,

 And you will find me,

Time after time.

 If you fall,I will catch you.

 I’ll be waiting,

Time after time.

Time after time, time after time. (First and Last Only)

Sometimes you picture me;

 I’m walking too far ahead.

You’re calling to me;

 I can’t hear just what you’ve said.

After my picture fades,

 And darkness has turned to grey.

Watching through windows,

 You’re wondering if I’m okay.

You say, “Go slow.”

I fall behind.

The drum beats out of time.
