I am the one who turns back time
This chilly gray morning
While wife and children slumber
In the hibernation of Sunday.
I sneak like a tooth fairy
From room to room,
Setting back clocks,
Slipping another hour of sleep
Silently under their pillows,
Hastening the darkening of a season
Already too dark for my timeless soul.
