Ticking away
The moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours
In an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your hometown
Waiting for someone
Or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

Maybe it's time to finally give it all up and buy that little sailboat ⛵

I keep having dreams of things I need to do

And waking up but not following through

But it feels like I haven't slept at all

When I wake to a silence and she's facing the wall

Posters of Dylan and of Hemingway

An antique compass for a sailor's escape

She says, "You just can't live this way"

And I close my eyes and I never say

I'm still having dreams
