Lyrics

CLOCK

This big old clock I dearly love, it hasn't been quite right
Should've been dusting it I guess, and kept it out of sunlight
It used to work so perfectly and never skip a beat
Make merry sounds of passing time and mark my days complete

(Chorus)
Tick-tock, tick-tock, it said
Tick-tock, tick-tock, well played
Tick-tock, tick-tock, you did good
I'm so proud of you

And now the hands of time speed up whenever I feel fine
As if they run a marathon, so anxious for the finish line
Must be some spring to be replaced, or tension to adjust
Unless my clock's developed spite and purposely runs fast

(Chorus)
Tick-tock, tick-tock, it'll say
Tick-tock, tick-tock, these are the golden days
Tick-tock, enjoy them while they last
They soon will pass

And when I'm down and feeling blue, the clock comes to a halt
Just when I want it over with, the hands won't move at all
The hours melt in tiny drops and slowly trickle down
I swear it takes forever for the hands to go around

(Chorus)
Tick... tock... they pout
Tick... tock... what now?
Tick... tock... it's still a half past two
Hope it's alright with you

This big old clock I dearly love, it hasn't been quite right
Should've been dusting it I guess - or kept it out of sunlight?
