Testi

Gears and wheels and coils and springs laid out on the bench before him
Pivot, motion, ratchet-wheels, will they all fit together?
But he knows each one has its place, his slender fingers carefully turning
Delicately tensioning, rotate and refine
Wind the spring up tight again, is it measuring time or controlling?
Turn the dial the other way
Tell me when will we go today?
Time-pieces far more precise than any made before
Dividing, cutting, slicing time, smaller than the mind can see or conceive
Click and whir, rotate and spin, he’ll see tomorrow yesterday
Look into a different world and uncover the future
He controls the speed of time, fast or slow or forward or backwards
All those things that he regrets, he’s got time now to try again
Spin the dial back and forwards to have another go
But can he find his origin? Will he make it home again, home again?
A chronometer far more precise than any ever known
But can he find his origin? Will he make it home again, home again?
Wind and rewind, changing his mind, he’s still got time on his side, oh
Wind and rewind (turn the dial back again)
What will he find? (for a while then again)
He’s still got (he’s got time on his)
Time on his side (on his side, still got time, put it right)
Wind and rewind (give the dial one more turn)
Leave it behind (d’you think he’ll ever learn?)
He’s still got (he’s got time on his)
Time on his side (on his side, still got time, put it right)
Wind and rewind (turn the dial back again)
Nowhere to hide (for a while then again)
He’s still got (he’s got time on his)
Time on his side (on his side, still got time, put it right)
