I picked another line from Sonnet #64 to do, and this time it was actually a more normal line: "That time will come and take my love away." That's a fairly bleak sentiment and the words I wrote all pretty much echo it, blaming time for all that we lose in life. But, ironically, I seem to have come up with the happiest, bounciest music I've done in years to go with the dreary lyrics. I call it "artistic juxtaposition". But mainly I just strung together some 80s cliches and used my favorite guitar setting on the Fender G-Dec amp: Blues House. Fun times.

Baby I saw it comin
It came
screamin out of the dawn
Time was
just playin a game with me
It was
movin me like a pawn
Just when I
thought I had it all worked out
I was just
about to make my play
Time come
along and take my love away.
We were just
two young fools in love
From the very
first day we met
We thought
we’d live forever
We were
ridin out a sure bet
But now
there ain’t no doubt about it
Sure as
nighttime follow day
Time’s
Gonna Come and Take My Love Away
I told you
all about my plans
All the
things I was gonna be
You tole me
that you shared the dream
And you’d
do it all with me
But we were just kids, foolin ourselves
And sure as
nighttime follow day
That Time
Gonna Come and Take Yo Love Away
Baby we saw
it comin
It came
screamin outa the dawn
Time was
just playin a game with me
It was
movin me like a pawn
Just when I
thought I had it all worked out
I was just
about to make my play
Time come
along an take my love away
That Time
Will Come And Take My Love Away.

Can you tell that one of Knees' favorite bands of the 60s was Buffalo Springfield? And that this is one of their best songs?
