About Time

You climbed to the top of your family tree
Perched on branches so thin and brittle at the tip
Peering down as far as I can see
A reflection of me, stuck by the grip
Of fear that I might slip
And tumble back down, back down to the ground
Where wanting is no worse than worrying about loss
Where it’s safe and sound
Because a pound of flesh is much harder to toss away

Across the midline
Hoping half way there can be less than half way back
Is it about time?
To be moving ahead with the next plan of attack
Is it about time?

Leafing through a tomb
A stranger’s photographs masquerading as memories
The scent of a room
Harbinger of gloom
Images of the past staring back at me
And fragments of words and melodies
Linger after the album’s been put away
Dressed in black leather binding
Oh the fading light’s kept at bay
Come what may
Come what may, in my mind the past is unwinding,
The clocks are unwinding

Across the midline
Hoping half way there can be less than half way back
Is it about time?
To be moving ahead with the next plan of attack
Is it about time?

No longer worry about what I have and what I lack
I got a pill to keep my hair on my head and off my back
So get off my back

The remains of the day are slipping away
As my shadow outgrew me
The loss of time bookends the crime
Oh you never, you never really, you never really knew me
