Ticking Clocks and Dancing Shoes

[Verse]

Time plays a game it won’t ever lose

Ticking clocks and their sly amuse

Wrinkles creeping like shadowed blues

While I’m here dancing in my walking shoes

[Chorus]

Why’s the world so old so gray

I groove in the now they fade away

Smooth moves shake but ain’t decay

Living young in a time replay

[Verse 2]

Faces lined with tales untold

Hands like maps in winters cold

Me I’m spinning while they fold

Living life not watching gold

[Bridge]

Mirrors laugh they tell no lies

Youth’s a spark they can’t disguise

I shun their clocks and their goodbyes

Dancing on while the moment flies

[Chorus]

Why’s the world so old so gray

I groove in the now they fade away

Smooth moves shake but ain’t decay

Living young in a time replay

[Verse 3]

Older souls they try to preach

Lessons learned beyond my reach

Yet my beat’s my truth my speech

Youthful hearts run out of leach
