Clockwork - Douglas Dare

In this box

A secret so closely kept

Two thousand years in the depths

Not to be opened yet

To the skies

They looked for the reasons why

This oak in to be oh why

Cause answers aren’t always right

Measure time but it will move

Hold it close but it won’t prove anything

In their eyes

Oh memories they soon loose

Tied to them like a noose

Oh memories they cannot choose

And ruled by hands

The point at the moments pass

Lived life behind the glass

Or break it to breath at last

Measure time but it will move

Hold it close but it won’t prove anything

Hold time dear

Hold time dear

Our time’s here

Our time’s here

Measure time but it will move

Hold it close but it won’t prove anything

In this box

A secret so closely kept

Two thousand years more to look

As long as these clocks work
