RUNNING TIME DOWN

Like the old rusty wheels
Of the church tower clock
Slowly catching up minutes
As the days make them drop
Running time down
That's my job
Poor old beggar
Doesn’t care to wait or stop

In a sun-stricken desert
Grows a soft-hearted rose
Where the days of the fires
Turn to nights freezing cold
Running time down
That’s my job
Poor old beggar
Doesn’t care to wait or stop
