(Chaim Tannenbaum, SOCAN)

Time on my hands
No one out there I’m rushing to meet
No pressing appointments to keep
No requests regretfully declined
Got me some shoes to shine
Time on my hands

Lunch at a club
Uptown downtown
Midtown is fine
East side west side I don’t mind
No destination
Got no plans
Nobody’s waiting
Here I am with time on my hands

How can this be
What’s happening to me
Lost my grip on things it seems
Stuck on the ground
Wheels spinning around
Turning back to the same sad themes

Once in a while
Someone mentions your name
I smile turn my head away

Once you were with me
Now you’re gone
People just hurry on
Along their way

Once you were with me
Now you’re gone
People just hurry on
Along their way
