Clockwork Skies 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Rust on the gears, smoke in your hair

Sun's setting over broken glassware

Your hand on my wrist like a steady beat

You said 'Let's watch this town sleep before we leave

I counted the minutes till you'd say goodbye

But then the clock tower struck and your eyes met mine

Pre-Chorus

We traded our shadows for starlight on stone

I don't need an alarm when I'm not alone

Chorus

Clockwork skies, spinning gold above

Every tick of the hour is a heartbeat we share as one

You're the rhythm that keeps time with me

Clockwork skies, and you are my melody

Verse

Steam off the pavement where your shadow used to be

We walked out from under the clock tower's heavy key

The stars came up like diamonds in a dusty jar

And I knew right then we'd never go far apart

Your fingers laced with mine like two wheels turning round

Every step is a beat, every breath is sound

Pre-Chorus

We traded our shadows for starlight on stone

I don't need an alarm when I'm not alone

Chorus

Clockwork skies, spinning gold above

Every tick of the hour is a heartbeat we share as one

You're the rhythm that keeps time with me

Clockwork skies, and you are my melody

Bridge

Let's keep our watches wound till daylight breaks through

We'll count every minute till I'm thinking of you

Not an alarm but a song in my chest

A clockwork heartbeat for when we're apart at rest

Chorus

Clockwork skies, spinning gold above

Every tick of the hour is a heartbeat we share as one

You're the rhythm that keeps time with me

Clockwork skies, and you are my melody
