Dandelion Clock

Look at me Just getting by Holding on While the world goes marching past It all went by so fast Look at me Up on the wire Out of time And on the run Into a setting sun The birds are headed south for the winter The dandelion clock has flown its seed The river makes its way to the shoreline Carrying the driftwood to the sea Look at me Still on my feet Not far from here But out of reach On the ebbing tide The birds are headed south for the winter The dandelion clock has flown its seed The river makes its way to the shoreline Carrying the driftwood to the sea
