Clockwork

A tiny village on a hill
And everyone takes part
Arthur makes the hands
And then prepares its heart
All the wheels are set by Anne
They all fall into place
With the help of mister Jones
Who then the numbers makes
Every day 5 on the dot
The early birds arise
When dreaming stops
Every day 5 on the dot
The early birds arise
A song of how time flies
We can't stop the time
As it ticks away
We can't stop the time
But we try, anyway
We can't stop the time
As it ticks away
We can't stop the time
But we try, anyway
We work and sweat and with each breath
We give some time away
We're dreaming of a sunny day
Hoping it will stay
Every night we go to sleep
The ole birds sing their song
Time does not come cheap
Every night we go to sleep
The ole birds sing their song
And we all sing along
We can't stop the time
As it ticks away
We can't stop the time
But we try, anyway
We can't stop the time
As it ticks away
We can't stop the time
But we try, anyway
We can't stop the time
As it ticks away
We can't stop the time
But we try, anyway
A tiny village on a hill
And everyone takes part
But as the moments slip away
The end is at the start
