Clockwork Songtext
von The Rope

When the sun shines cold
And the weight of the ages
Hangs on your bones
Every regret I adopt
In sweet little rows

Oh you know oh

When your mind grows numb
And your life passes before you
Like a picture show
Every heartache I lie
It seeped through to your toes

You know oh

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

You never had the heart
Never had the heart
To try


Oh in the end
The candles of our burnt out end
The sands my friend
Slipped right through our grasp

And in the end
The clocks that list our own end
Turn time my friend
Slipped right through our grasp

As the sun shines bright
With the world around you
Washed in funeral grey
Every hope disappearing
In the twilight haze

You say say

At the end of days
As you see the world around you
In dusty shades
Like the closing doors
On tragic play

Oh you 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 of our burnt out end
The sands my friend
Slipped right through our grasp

And in the end
The clocks that
List our own end
Turn time my friend
Slipped right through our grasp

Oh in the end
The candles of our burnt out end
The sand my friend
Slipped right through our grasp

And in the end
The clocks that
List our own end
Turn time my friend
Slipped right through our 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
