Minute Hand from MinuteHand by John Ludington

Everything was fine when I had a solution
You don’t need to cry
You don’t have to cry
We don’t need to cry, love
Everything I own on the bottom of the ocean
Please don’t try to find it
Please don’t try to find it
I don’t need those things anymore
It’s a wonder we’re still here
I would love to do it again
You get one chance, one chance
I’m the minute hand of a big ol’ clock
When I walk a city block, I walk a city block
Don’t know how my legs got this long
Seems I’ve worked every day of my life
It’s almost quittin’ time
Should be quitting time
Don’t you feel that it’s quitting time
Crawl out onto the windshield laughing
You might wind up dead
We could wind up dead
Lucky to learn lessons instead
I’m a total gentleman, I’ll hold the door
And I’ll walk you home
I will walk you home
And hope that you’ll ask me in
