See how the clock ticks?
Second by second; Minute by minute
Golden hands moving, moving
Never ceasing, ever changing
See her dress flow?
Lace of black, silk of red
Hugging her form; Kissing the floor
See her foot tap in anticipation?
Tap tapping, Clap clapping
Her heel scuffs the floor
Ding, scuff. Ding, scuff.
Now see her pacing
Back and forth, Forth and back
Back to the clock
Hands at a quarter, Quarter ‘til nine
Tick ticking, click clicking
Forward in time, inching towards nine
See her dainty hand rest
Upon the rail to the stairs?
Fingers tap, heels clap
As the clock ticks the time
See her raven hair catch the light?
The silver pins shine
She twirls a stray curl
The clock still ticks the time
Five minutes left now
She sighs a slight sigh
Then the doorbells chime
As the gold clock strikes nine
An audible gasp as the door opens wide
The clock is forgotten; its tick out of mind
They head to the dance at two past nine
