Lyrics

Bilingual
In the shop where time stands still
She wins the clocks at break of day
Her husband's hands work magic but his will
Has stolen her years away
Every gear he sets in place
Takes a heartbeat from her chest
Every spring that holds time pace
Leaves her weaker than the rest
Tick-tock goes the clock maker's heart
Stealing time to make time last
Tick-tock goes his loving wife's heart
Growing older twice as fast
She used to dance, she used to sing
Before he learned to capture hours
Now she's just a fragile thing
Fed by artificial flowers
The town's people come day and night
For clocks that never lose their beat
But they don't see her fading light
Or how she's grown so thin and sweet
Tick-tock goes the clock maker's heart
Stealing time to make time last
Tick-tock goes his loving wife's heart
Growing older twice as fast
She found his journal by the bed
The formula he's used for years
To keep time living so little rest
Trade love for another's tears
So tonight, when he's asleep
She'll break every clock in two
Let time flow wild and deep
And take what time is due
Tick-tock, no more clock maker's heart
No more stealing time to last
Tick-tock beats her free to loving heart
Finally living unsurpassed
In the shop where time runs free
She dances like she used to be
