Song | House of Clocks |
Artist | Al Stewart |
Album | Down in the Cellar |
作词 : Stewart | |
I once had a qilded clock | |
Constructed in la Belle Epoque | |
The hour hand broke, now it won't turn back | |
So long, so long, so long | |
I once had a sundial too | |
But green and wild my garden grew | |
The undergrowth obscured the view | |
So long, so long, so long | |
Not a word could make her stay | |
The East wind blows the sun away | |
Oh I lost her on St. Swithin's day | |
Oh why? | |
I grew up in a house of clocks | |
And late at night I'd sometimes walk | |
Listening to their rhythmic talk | |
So long, so long, so long | |
Clocks that sand in ringing chimes | |
To take the measure of the times | |
Clocks that spoke in wordless rhymes, | |
So long, so long , so long | |
Not a word could make her stay | |
The wine is spilt and flows away | |
I lost her on St. Swithin's day | |
Oh why? |
