my clock tells me it is 4:23
but that is not the time
the river knows what time it is
it is time to run to the sunset
the birds know what time it is
it is time to sing praise to the dusk
the sky knows what time is is
it is time to be deep and blue
the trees know what time it is
it is time to stretch bare to the heavens
the sun knows what time it is
it is time to hang still on the edge of the night
i know what time it is
it is time to go home.
