Upon my back, a story old. A lifetime's tale, seldom told. Good or bad, lose or win. All imprinted on my skin. All the deeds that I have done. Some in sorrow, most for fun.

On the dreariest of days the clouds oppress the skies. The flowers fail to smile. The sun refuses to shine. The wind adds an edge to the atmosphere. This is when the birds sing the blues.

Little silver cogs, They turn and turn and turn. Working what's inside, Making the little clock work. The small hands they move in tandem, They know where to point and go.
