Each flake that falls upon the ground Carries a sort of air It falls from heaven, and dances around It lands upon my hair Covered now, in fairy dust I must sing a new song Not one of love or lust But I want you to play along When the snow has stop falling I step back inside I hear the trumpet calling And know I must abide I do as it commands Like the voices in my head. She knows I’ll understand She knows I’m hanging by a thread My body feels numb But not from the cold That feeling had never come. This is a feeling I’d often hold Each second on the clock seems to take longer I know my time is coming I hear it getting stronger, The sound of distant drumming The frail hand that keeps my time Is coming to a close For I start to hear the chime An end to all my happiness, but also my sorrow and woes.

When The Clock Stops Ticking
Each flake that falls upon the ground Carries a sort of air It falls from heaven, and dances around It lands upon my hair Covered now, in fairy dust I must sing a new song Not one of love or lust But I want you to play along When the snow has stop falling I step back inside I hear the trumpet calling And know I must abide I do as it commands Like the voices in my head. She knows I’ll understand She knows I’m hanging by a thread My body feels numb But not from the cold That feeling had never come. This is a feeling I’d often hold Each second on the clock seems to take longer I know my time is coming I hear it getting stronger, The sound of distant drumming The frail hand that keeps my time Is coming to a close For I start to hear the chime An end to all my happiness, but also my sorrow and woes.
