what time is it?

thought i'd begin'
from the end...

got no watch.
threw it away.
didn't need it anyway.

a clock
just does it's tick tock
what does it say
as time passes it's way

what can i say?

anyway.

the sun comes up.
the sun goes down.
what's up?
what have you found?

can you hear
the sound
of fear?
do you know
the night's glow?
when it's near...

when you're alone
cold as stone
can you feal a heartache
what does it take...
to be felt
the cards
you delt
the hards
you helt...

what is time?

sept'
a lonesome rhyme
time ain't worth a dime
and when you holler
it ain't worth a dollar
don't take no scholar
to foller'

the sun
comin' up
the sun
goin' down

don't take no clock
ta' hear the tick-tock
nor the knock-knock

this day has begun
this day has an end
and then
the darkness will begin
agin

so i don't feel
the pain a' today
it ain't real
take it away
anyway
what can i say

what is time
'cept an old rhyme
an old heartache
an old pain
bein' insane
but what is sain
but a timely refrain

a' forgettin' time
findin' a rhyme

got no watch
got no clock
got no tv
no radio
i don't know

don't mean much to me
far as i can see

tick-tock
tick-tock
it's just a clock

a passin' a' time
a lost rhyme
sublime
anytime

what time is it?
it's just time.

it's just a rhyme.

it's just poetry
it's just me
