I must admit that when my headlines were allocated by the great spinning wheel of fate, I was totally blank about what I was going to do. I thought that I might take my time with this challenge and started to jot down a few words and phrases related to "time" and "essence" but then, the next day, boom - and the whole song seemed to appear right in front of me - That doesn't happen too often but when it does, it's great
I have no idea what genre this number falls into, to me it kind of sounds like Trumpton meets Metallica
- I did also manage to throw in a reference to the Spinning Wheel
Make of it what you will
Sands of time
Slipping through an hour glass
Broken on the floor
Time won't give you more
Crooked hand on faded dial
Perfume exudes from the phial
Slowly now the coil unwinds
And I can smell your presence
The old clock strikes
Another hour
And from the lotion
A magic potion
Spinning wheel
Slowing, slowing
Cos you can't stop
Old father time
Time – Is of the essence
Time can't break me
Elevate me
Levitate and see
Just can't wait for time
Sands of mine
Slipped away so long ago
Scattered on the floor
Never giving you more
Tender hand and gentle touch
Perfume exudes from your smile
Slowly now as I unwind
And drift into your presence
Time – Is of the essence
Time can't break me
Elevate me
Levitate and see
Cos I can't wait for time
