Lyrics

[00:18.72] Mary had a little clock that works in its own way,
[00:23.02] just another afternoon in May
[00:27.28] Children playing birds were singing postmen said hello,
[00:32.16] What if Mary wasn't late that day
[00:35.40]
[00:36.67] Johnny was a lonely man who has not much to say
[00:41.05] He's now on the roof to say goodbye
[00:45.42] He was so in love with Mary when she was engaged,
[00:49.70] Sadly he was not her fiance
[00:54.46]
[01:09.73] So God I ask why today,
[01:13.78] are they not dear enough to you?
[01:16.48] Did they not pray?
[01:18.64] Is that how you work your way?
[01:23.65] Now I'm so afraid
[01:27.75]
[01:28.62] To some it was one fine day,
[01:31.85] to them the very end of life well that's their fate
[01:38.07] So that's how people come and go
[01:42.11] What's gonna happen no one knows
[01:46.77]
[01:48.30] Johnny took a breath and quietly he jumped off the roof
[01:53.28] What if Mary wasn't late that day
[01:57.65]
[02:24.81] So God I ask why today,
[02:28.44] are they not dear enough to you?
[02:30.75] Did they not pray?
[02:32.77] Is that how you work your own way?
[02:37.91] Now I'm so afraid
[02:41.46]
[02:42.94] To some it was one fine day,
[02:46.14] to them the very end of life well that's their fate
[02:52.41] So that's how people come and go
[02:56.57] What's gonna happen no one knows
[03:00.47]
[03:00.97] So God I ask why today,
[03:04.03] well she had everything she dreamt of yesterday
[03:08.39] But now the happiness subside
[03:13.59] Will she rest in peace in her own grave?
[03:18.51] Bout' him I dare not say,
[03:21.63] he landed on her head and broke her neck they say.
[03:28.15] So that's how tragic life can be
[03:32.29] Too bad that many still don't see
[03:37.89]
[03:39.72] Mary had a little clock that works in its own way
[03:44.96] Yet she never has another day
[03:52.66]
