House Of Clocks |
I once had a qilded clock |
Constructed in la Belle Epoque |
The hour hand broke, now it won’t turn back |
So long, so long, so long |
I once had a sundial too |
But green and wild my garden grew |
The undergrowth obscured the view |
So long, so long, so long |
Not a word could make her stay |
The East wind blows the sun away |
Oh I lost her on St. Swithin’s day |
Oh why? |
I grew up in a house of clocks |
And late at night I’d sometimes walk |
Listening to their rhythmic talk |
So long, so long, so long |
Clocks that sand in ringing chimes |
To take the measure of the times |
Clocks that spoke in wordless rhymes |
So long, so long, so long |
Not a word could make her stay |
The wine is spilt and flows away |
I lost her on St. Swithin’s day |
Oh why? |
