lyrics

don't look at the clock

see these flowers blooming beneath the ground
i'd like to have their petals for my bed
they know how to do it all without a sound
if i could only get some quiet in my head

don't look at the clock
it makes me wait
don't look at the clock
it makes me late
don't look at the clock

that boy's got fire burning in his blood
he won't listen to anything i say
i've been trying to get him down here in the mud
he just flaps his arms and says no, not today

don't look at the clock
it makes you wait
don't look at the clock
it'll make you late
don't look at the clock

i've got people sleeping in my yard
they've been there so long now no one knows
whether life was easy, life was hard
sometimes i hear them whisper
see where time will go

don't look at the clock
it'll make you wait
don't look at the clock
it'll make you late
don't look at the clock

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide ... more
