Time
Pacing along the floor
Continually staring at the door
When will that phone ring
What news will it bring
My tension fills the air
This emotion is rare
Soon the time will be here
I can feel it coming near
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Pounds the loud annoying clock
"Sit Down" my mind does yell
Why do I put myself in this hell
Why do I play this little game?
In my mind this news came
Time is so slow
Continually that clock does go
Pacing back and forth once more
Walking on this old wood floor
"Wait" I scream out loud
In my mind this thought does crowd
Why do I waste my time
This ought to be a crime
Certainly is a shame
Only myself to blame
Tick Tock Tick Tock
"Stop it now" I yelled in a fury
About then, my vision went blurry
Lay down to look at the light
While I try to regain my sight
A terrible noise interrupts my rest
As I ride this wave at it's crest
The sounds are far away
Sit and watch my children play
Now my sight regains it's full
Light can be ever so cruel
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Goes that annoying little clock
Always the time brings me back
How I want to see it crack
My attention darts to and fro
Always a new place to go
The phone sites alone in a corner
As if a poor pathetic mourner
'Do not feel pity for me
Just turn your head and let me be'
Sighed the tiny little phone
Even now that clock does moan
Close my eyes to forget the sight
Of all that bright bouncing light
On the door I heard a tapping
As I lay there calmly napping
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Why can't I escape that little clock
'Come on in' I said to the door
With my head lying on the floor
Shadows flickered beyond the light
Until they danced out of sight
No reply was heard outside
Any other man would have cried
Build up my strength once more
Begin to head for the door
Almost my arm can reach
The silence of my dream did breach
The time that clock did keep
And the sound it did seep
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Was the sound it did knock
Never again would I fear
The time that clock would draw near
