Stopping time I step out of winter
and in the mist of a summers morn
I check my time machine
she has done me proud 1877, yes
she is such a good girl

I have come here to meet someone
someone very special to me
a old friend of mine
another master of time
another lord now retired

I walk up his garden path
he's empathic like me
yet I don't have the luxury  
I mean just look at that
he has one great retirement home

It's cloaked to humans
we don't splash it about in that way
and as I walk into his hallway
*******, good grief
he has as many clocks as me

He greets me with the words
oh hello, I knew you were coming
and.. would you like a cup of tea
we have business to talk about
so now sorry old chaps I'm shutting the front door
