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
