The Clocktower (On and On)

from Music in a Dark Café by Nathan Bollig

/

lyrics

I told you five o clock we'd meet
on across the clocktower
to play a little game before you drifted on away

Either night is coming or the sky is falling
the ground is cold, the birds are sleeping
and on and on the clock is ticking, soon I'll be awake

On and on...

The children are out playing
as the churchbell is softly ringing
and the wind that moves our curtains
shifting shadows on the lake

The softness of the water is the
moisture in the air you breath is the
smile on your face is the
brightness of the sun

On and on...

Then at nine o clock we'd meet
to sit beneath the willow tree
and you sank into the water where tomorrow never knows

You walked across the backyard
toward the neighbor's backdoor crying
and I asked you what you needed,
you said absolutely nothing at all

On and on...
