Forget No I Had Also Hoped Tell No

Any of it
I will never forget
the trouble is
I used to have nothing to conceal
now I do
you shouldn’t have
then you did
Please
think back
how it was easier
when the clock could show its hands
wide open
I have nothing to conceal
it could say
No mystery here
I have nothing to conceal.
The trouble is
now
the key to wind the clock
get the hands into position
it’s gone and stayed missing so
now
it looks like I’ve got to explain
not just any of it
but
quite a lot of it
or maybe even
all of it
