Clocks

Through this snow we fall winter standing tall
Like a blanket she cloaks this indifference
So I cover my eyes to the sight of your recall
Trees in white remain, dressed to cover shame
As I stand here in beautiful symmetry
A chill hurries over as if to place the blame
And tick tock sing the clocks
I’ve been waiting for hours for you
Swing swing pendulum
I’m still trying so hard to get through
And how we all fall down
Hedgerow dark disguise, Evensong abide
And I’m wishing away this absurdity
Sing loudly and pray to the song of compromise, no lies
And tick tock sing the clocks
I’ve been waiting for hours for you
Swing swing pendulum
I’m still trying so hard to get through to you
And how we all fall down
And ring this rose around, there’s no sound
Clocks keep turning round
Clocks keep turning round round round round
Through this snow we fall blinded by it all
As I stand here in beautiful symmetry
A chill hurries over as if to place the blame
And tick tock sing the clocks
I’ve been waiting for hours for you
Swing swing pendulum
I’m still trying so hard to get through
And tick tock sing the clocks
I’ve been waiting for hours for you
Swing swing pendulum
I’m still trying so hard to get through to you
Clocks keep turning round
Clocks keep turning round round round round
Clocks keep turning round
Clocks keep turning round round round round
