Clockwork Lyrics by ROPE

Waters Rising - The Rope

2015

When the sun shines cold
And the weight of the ages
Hangs on your bones
Every regret lined up in sweet little rows
You'll know oh

And when your mind grows slow
And your life passes before you like a picture show
Every heartache highlighted in sepia tone
You'll know oh

That you never had the heart, never had the heart to tempt it
Never had the heart, never had the heart to try

Oh in the end
The candles have all burned out
And the sand my friend is slipping through the glass
And in the end the clocks have lost their hands now
And your time my friend
Is slipping through your grasp

And as the sunshine fades
With the world around you washed in funeral grey
Every hope disappearing in the twilight haze
You'll say, say

And at the end of days
As you see you the world around you in dusty shades
Like the closing doors on some old tragic play
Oh you'll say, say

That you never had the heart
Never had the heart
To tempt it

You never had the heart
Never had the heart
To try

Oh in the end
The candles have all burned out
And the sand my friend have slipped through the glass
And in the end the clocks have lost their hands now
And your time my friend
Is slipping through your grasp

Oh in the end
The candles have all burned out
And the sand my friend have slipped through the glass
And in the end the clocks have lost their hands now
And your time my friend
Is slipping through your grasp

That you never had the heart, never had the heart to tempt it
You never had the heart, never had the heart to try

That you never had the heart, never had the heart to tempt it
You never had the heart, never had the heart, to try

To try
To try
