Story Behind The Song

This song just sort of ...appeared. Many years ago. The words just flowed, and I wrote it down, sang it, learned it.

Song Description

A song about easing your cares by spending some time in the sun.

Lyrics

Take an Hour Upon the Clock -
Wander down this country lane
Lose the care that's on your mind
Chase the troubles from your brain!
Lay you soft upon the hill
In the glory of the sun
In words and deeds you've spent the hours
And now your own true love may come -
Find you're fit as you can be
To share the nectar of the gods.
All you have brought
In tiny rivers that may run
Deep into the sands of time
Where each grain is passing days
through the hours we will fly -
Then, like a clock, we'll run away!
When I'm drunk and dreaming too
Or I'm so down that it makes me lonely -
I stop cryin' 'cause I know
You'll come my way!
When the cloud comes into view
And the sun ain't shinin' through
I stop crying 'cause I know
You'll come my way!
Take an Hour upon the clock...(etc.)
