I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair. *
She’s so sweet and loving.

I’m good looking for a man of my age,
with handsome gray hair – what there is of it –

The Heavy Hands of Time 

For youth

The clock rarely has hands

For the middle age

It has hands

That starts to spin

Too fast

And for the old

Time weighs heavy

Like all Burdon

Knowing that

Most of your time

Has now gone

Watching the youth

Wishing too

That your clock

Had no hands

To spin so fast
