More to lose and less to give in to
Time to show and space to share
Whole episodes, two-tracks and half-truths
More to let go of and less leisure time
When the test is over
And the pamphlets are all passed out
There’ll be more time to study
And less time to rest
Cause the clocks never stop, the power goes out, the heart beats
The clocks never stop
Legacies here, decades to sort through
Symbols and scripts and lists left behind
Unlabeled files, folders and hard drives
More than one side to your tale
When the breaths are over
And the bodies are emptied out
There’ll be more death to live with
And less use for gold
Cause the clocks never stop, the power goes out, the heart beats
The clocks never stop
The idea of choice and choosing
The feeling of the earth and water and sky
The clock never stops
The feeling of the pain
Healing time to show and space to share
The clock never stops, the power goes out, the heart beats
The clocks never stop
The idea of choice and choosing
The feeling of the earth and water and sky and animals
David
The clocks never stop
