A clock ticks and
The beating of a heart
Just a hair apart
Almost in rhythm
While the wind blows
Across the globe
Quite in the night
Unheard-of in the daylight
And all voices are silent
Except the ones inside
Trying to fall asleep
But too afraid to turn out the lights
There will be no rest tonight

A clock ticks and
The beating of a heart
Just a hair apart
Almost in rhythm
While the wind blows
Across the globe
Quite in the night
Unheard-of in the daylight
And all voices are silent
Except the ones inside
Trying to fall asleep
But too afraid to turn out the lights
There will be no rest tonight
