"Could I Borrow"

by Beat the Clock

off the self-titled album,

(c) 1989



Every day I make these lists of things that absolutely have to get done

Funny, I have never written to myself, "Be sure to have fun"

Mothers' Mother's getting older still she's got a lot of things to say

Those days when she'll be silent may seem vioulent

But they're days that aren't too far away

I'd just love to sit and talk to you

But there's all these things I've got to do



Could I borrow fourteen hours



Future's on it's way so every day I pave a road that I've been told is secure

But giving up my time for peace of mind that's not so peaceful

Leaves me not so sure

Maybe, work that's never done, is work that should have never begun

I find that I feel fine when I resign to walk in time

Instead of timeing my run

Sometimes I think I think too much

Turn off my mind and let's tune in to touch



Could I borrow just fourteen hours



So you ask me when this whole thing stops

Seems I won't slow till I drop, like it or not because

Seems I won't slow till I drop



Could I borrow just fourteen hours
