- Songwriters: Brendan Michael Perry
The old clock is ticking now
Marks the space between us
Your memory enshrouds my heart
I am held a captive
Sometimes my soul desires
To take leave of this old world
To spread these golden wings and fly
To the city of angels
But then if I close my eyes
I can see you standing there
Your face in permanence smiles
Your lips a chalice
Seems like I've loved you all my life
Never thought I'd find you
Some day the muse may lend these words wings
So I can touch you
The old clock is ticking now
Marks the space between us
Your memory enshrouds my heart
I am held a captive
Seems like I've loved you all my life
Never thought I'd find you
Some day the muse may lend these words wings
So I can touch you
But hey!
Don't worry if the feeling's not strong for you
I have lived my life in accordance to the windfalls of passion
Though I know what it means to be loved and then forgotten
I have seen too many men driven insane by their distractions
