One Handed Clock

In San Diego
Saw her broad smile
40 years ago

I remember it everyday since then
Remember it everyday since then
Remember it everyday since then
Remember it everyday since then

There's a light that shines reliably
It's blocked by trees
When I seek it Dogs are waiting
They've bitten me
Drugs take drugs that block my memories
But I can recall

When I was alone
When I was alone
When I was alone

I wrote a story longer than the Bible
And I show it to everyone that I know
You hope I'll change
We fight and I stay the same

I have lost control
I have screamed, slammed doors
But at least I had no bad thoughts today

There's a light that shines reliably
It's blocked by trees
When I seek it Dogs are waiting
They've bitten me
Drugs take drugs that block my memories
But I can recall

When I was alone
When I was alone
When I was alone
When I was alone

I see sound
I see color
I see months
Beyond numbers
And clocks with one hand I cannot figure
Clocks with one hand I cannot figure

I wrote a story it was on my birthday
Once no-one came, that was my worst day
You can get close
You're never that close to me

I have made messes
Coughed and been restless
But at least I had no bad thoughts today

There's a light that shines reliably
It's blocked by trees
When I seek it Dogs are waiting
They've bitten me
Drugs take drugs that block my memories
But I can recall

When I was alone
When I was alone
When I was alone
When I was alone
