Im in a long term relationship with the Hands of Time but, sometimes I don't want them touching my soul at night Guess we been together, way too long The 33 year old itch has now become a haunting song that I don't want to sing I feel like I'm sitting in an old theater house, tearing as I watch old black and white films of a fallen queen and king
Seems these keepers of the hours don't know that I dance with my ghosts of womans past the tug of war inside, or the questions that I ask Sometimes, it feels like they just left me behind when she was alive by the light house in Montawk in the summer of 99
I'm in a marriage, married to the Angel of Time Sometimes I cant stand the sound of it's tick, it meets me with terror and fright Im fooled after I fall for it's tricks, then soon after I fall sick Seems these keepers of the hours don't care that I try to hold onto my birthday balloons that dad got me, for as long as I can But time won’t wait for no woman, they're deflating like the time that is slipping away through my own hands Everyday I miss him when he was was alive when wed take our searching for the best Christmas lights treasure hunt drives
But then Time it kind of stops when I need it the most my heart is a clock my heart is a clock and the hands of time they can be so ugly and cruel but they're forgiving too Like when you Fall in love and 8 am takes forever to turn into the Am hours of 2 And you wonder How did I extend the hours? Maybe, magic lives in the hours Maybe Time can be our Power
Time it can kind of stop when I feel like a squeezed out sponge and ***** old mop my heart is a clock my heart is a clock and the hands of time they can be so cool but they're mean too
Like when suddenly something that happened 20 years ago feels like todays news And you wonder How did I miss all the hours? Maybe cruelty and thievery dance together in the hours Maybe Time steals our power
my heart is a clock Tick Tok my heart is a clock, wishes for tomorrow with every hour comes a little sorrow my heart is a clock tick tok Il mio cuore e un orologio e in ogni ora vive papa
Inside the clock the hands don’t know how to live as one they push and pull in a wedding dance that’s never done that's what friends are for supposed to stay but the hands of time will run
im still dancing to dads guitar riffs my heart is a clock it never forgot
