Time Wheel Winder

TIME WHEEL WINDER 

©Trev Teasdel June 1971 Vicarage Rd – Birmingham.

The sun’s going down in the sky.

I didn’t notice time go by.

Time Wheel Winder why

Do you wind so fastly?

Here am I with a worn out wasted day,

That I’ve only just begun.

Words with the sun fled softly now.

I wander aimlessly in uncertainty’s fortress mighty.

Tell me where I might be now.

I’m in the midst of a jungle,

And I cannot tell what surrounds me now.

So if you know my bearings,

Don’t hesitate to tell me now.

I know my way, but it’s not clear

Cut corner curiosity.

Ball and chained to my cell-hell.

This may seem simple

But it suits the mood..

Light, thoughtless and spontaneous.
