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
