More Clever Ways
Verse 1
Time, Time, one thing is surely true
about Time: it will always morph
into something quite different,
to a giant star or a dwarf.
Verse 2
Time, Time, one thing about your heart,
it retains a special enzyme
to learn to love what Time gave you
as a gift so oddly sublime.
Chorus
Time, Time,
you think you can change it,
or maybe rearrange it,
but just when you’ve exchanged it,
for what you want or said,
you see it rearranged
you instead.
you see it rearranged
you instead.
Bridge
The eons of humans
on our little planet,
all seem to have proven
our usual gambit:
we’re still only hunting,
we’re still just gathering
through all our modern days . . .
just in more clever ways.
just in more clever ways.
