New Years Day Lyrics by James Shaw

Life on the Clock

0

[Verse 1]
New Year's Day
Sadness on the way
But I hope that it won't stay
I have to say that it's time has come
And it's no fun to pretend you know
Where your life will be
But I hope that it's with me
We'll wait and see
As if we had a choice
Before we die
[Interlude]
(Tick, tick, tick)
(Tick, tick, tick)
(Tick, tick, tick)
Life on the clock
(Tick, tick, tick)
(Tick, tick, tick)
[Verse 2]
Another year
So much fear inside
But I can't find somewhere to hide
Stay by my side
And keep on telling me
Keep on telling you
[Chorus]
There's no use in trying
To figure out time
Then spend your whole life
Wondering in stride
When you will know
Where you should go
The time will have come
To let yourself know
There's no use in trying
To figure out time
Then spend your whole life
Wondering in stride
When you will know
Where you should go
The time will have come
To let yourself know
There's no use in trying
To figure out time
Then spend your whole life
Wondering in stride
When you will know
Where you should go
The time will have come
To let yourself know
