See the bluebird fly easy as a dream   Dipping and bobbing in the sun   Could she be the one I saw so long ago   Could she be the one to take me home      This pasture is green   I'm walking in the sun   It's turning brown   I'm standing in the rain   My overcoat is worn   The pockets are all torn   I'm moving away from the pain      Tick-tock   The clock on the wall   No wonder we're losing time   Ring, ring   The old church bell   The bride and her love   Seeking guidance from above      Amber waves of grain bow in the prairie wind   I'm hearing Willie singing on the radio again   That song from 9/11 keeps ringing in my head   I'll always remember something Chris Rock said      Don't send no more candles   No matter what you do   Then Willie stopped singing   And the prairie wind blew   The green kept rolling on   For miles and miles   Fields of fuel rolling on for miles      Tick-tock   The clock on the wall   No wonder we're losing time   Toll, toll   The fallen soldier bell   The old church on the hill   Still standing when so many fell      Back when I was young, the birds blocked out the sun   Before the great migration south   We only shot a few   They last the winter through   Mother cooked them good and served them up      Somewhere a senator sits in a leather chair   Behind a big wooden desk   The caribou we killed mean nothing to him   He took his money just like all the rest      Tick-tock   The clock on the wall   No wonder we're losing time   Ring, ring   Ring the wedding bells   The bride takes the ring   And the happy people sing
