I am a clock without hands

I'm walking through the midnights

Counting all the moments

Of the loves I've left behind

And crying on the shoulders of the days I've not forgotten now

I am frozen in time

Like the paddles of the soldiers

Left displaced of time

Where their tears still fall

Love's that wreck out on the track

Far beyond my looking back to recall

I'm just a clock upon the shelf

Without hands to give the time of day for love at all

I am a clock without hands

No one understands this

That when the autumn comes

I see no reason for a fall

Spring can fail to move me

With its tulips and its clover

Now the time for love is over

I am a clock without hands

I'm just ticking and that's all

I am a clock without hands

I'm just ticking and that's all

I recall a time

When love still had the power

To reach inside this clock

Where my hands held a dream

The innocence of passion

And the words of Saint Therese chimin' in

And I recall the faith

Of the love of my life

And the loosing of my hands

Which he took with him when he died

And I'm crying on the shoulders of his love

That I'm remembering now

And it's been ages since this heart

Has ticked a beat of love

So I've forgotten how

And I am a clock without hands

No one understands this

That when the autumn comes

I see no reason for a fall

Spring can fail to move me

With its tulips and its clover

Now the time for love is over

I am a clock without hands

I'm just ticking and that's all

I am a clock without hands

I'm just ticking and that's all

I am a clock without hands

I'm just ticking and that's all
