Fear is keeping time with the beating of my heart
Doin' way too much thinkin'
And it's tearing me apart
But I, I feel You reach for me

From lost and not found, to run and not hide
My hand inside ... (Your hand)
Losing my grip falling so far
My hand inside Your hand

"Hand"

No time left for you) On my way to better things
(No time left for you) I found myself some wings
(No time left for you) Distant roads are callin' me
(No time left for you) Da-un-da-un-da-un-da-un-da

No time for a summer friend
No time for the love you send
Seasons change and so did I
You need not wonder why
You need not wonder why
There's no time left for you
No time left for you

My baby went shopping yesterday
she bought what she needs for Santa Claus
she wrote a note and left it on the dresser
saying she'd take her's with her,
and she'd leave mine in her dresser drawers.

Naturally that started me to ramblin'
Pulling out all my Baby's dresser drawers
I just had to find out,
What did my Baby buy me for Santa Claus.

The landlady saw me ramblin', got mad, and called the law.
The landlady tole the police
-I caught dat man with his hand
in the ladies dresser drawers.

I just kept on, pulling out all my Baby's dresser drawers, Still trying to find out
what she done bought me for Santa Claus.

The Judge said Sonny Boy,
what you doing with your hands in that ladies dresser drawers ?

I showed the judge the note from my Baby
that showed that Sonny Boy,
Was just trying to find his Santa Claus.

SANTA CLAUS -Sonny Boy Williamson

Edit: Thank You WO'N, you upstaged me without me bothering to dress my post in a rainbow of colors.

She comes in colors everywhere,
She combs her hair,
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Oh the cuckoo is a pretty bird that waggles as she flies.
But she never sings cuckoo till the very day she lies.

I've gambled in England, I've gambled in Spain.
And I bet you ten dollars that I'll beat you once again.

I built me a cabin on a mountain so high,
So I can see Mary as she goes right by.

I wish I was a poet and could write a fine hand.
I'd write my love a letter, Lord, she would understand.


Traditional Folk Song

There's an odd sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery, an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say cuckoo
(Cuckoo, cuckoo...)

Regretfully they tell us, but firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you!


So Long, Farewell, from The Sound of Music (R&H)

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor.
It was taller by half than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride;
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died.

-- Henry Clay Work (1876)

Continuing on the theme here....

There was a man like you and me, as simple as a man could ever be;
And he was happy as a king, except for one peculiar thing.

He had a clock that worked all right,
It worked all right, but not exactly quite;
Instead of going "tick, tock, tick",
the crazy clock went "tock, tick, tock".

Now the time has come (Time!)
There's no place to run (Time!)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time!)
But I had my fun (Time!)
I've been loved and put aside (Time!)
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time!)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time!)

Now the time has come (Time!)
There are things to realize (Time!)
Time has come today (Time!)
Time has come today (Time!)

Time Has Come Today, The Chambers Brothers

The very thought of you, and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem, to me that's everything 

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

The Very Thought of You by Ray Noble
