Killing Time
I wait and wait... sleepwalk the hourglassThis way and that... the pendulum swingsYes, there's plenty of time... always time left to killDoes time stand still or hurtle on by?Let time unwind... let all the cogs fall outLet man's machines collapse and rustFace down in the dust... I'll kiss no other lipsA lifetime of nothing, condemned without youBeen so long here... I could die hereLying by your sideBut time won't claim me, time and me onlyI'm just killing timeIf the sun went out, I wouldn't mind too muchWho needs the days to trouble to fill?If the moon didn't rise, I wouldn't be upsetWho needs moonshine to cause tears to spill?I've been so long here... I could lie hereUnder dying skyThis thirst and hunger holds no wonderI'm just killing timeI await your return,There's no other one.
