Analysis of The clock is ticking away.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The clock is ticking away.

Like clouds, they hold a lot of rain. Love holds a lot of pain. Your tomorrow's hold a lot of sorrows. And all your sorrows will still be here tomorrow. Yesterday holds a lot of two days, and today holds a lot of yesterday's 1-minute holes—a lot of seconds. However, a second doesn't contain any minutes; I believe you've reached your limit.
