									Checking the Time     
Donna Dennihy   © 2011
You stood in the kitchen but you weren't there
Are you done you asked and I knew you were
You never acted that way before
Checking the time
Checking the door
Am I done you asked as I tossed aside
The book of words I've yet to write
Well I could now but how would you know
Checking the time
Checking the door
  Chorus:
  Where do you have to go and
  Who are you expecting? 
  Now I can't seem to 
  Hold your attention 
  Cause you're checking the time
  And checking the door...you keep checking the time...
  And the door (hold)
Instrumental   (verse)
Bridge:
Time never mattered much
You could transcend it 
And doors they were never shut
And you paid attention
	Chorus
