lyrics

I would write out all the things that I might say to you.
But words could never do my heart justice.
Our eyes and hands say more in a moment
than our minds and tongues will ever know.

The clock is ticking slowly on the wall as I wait.
The seconds flow; they roll along like waves.
The clock is ticking slowly on the wall as I wait.
The seconds flow; they roll along like waves upon the ocean.


If what is to be already is,
then what is there for me to do?
I’ll clear my head of all these questions.
Standing still, I’ll wait for you.

The clock is ticking slowly on the wall as I wait.
The seconds flow; they roll along like waves.
The clock is ticking slowly on the wall as I wait.
The seconds flow; they roll along like waves upon the ocean.


Take my silence for the gift that it is.
Words could never do this moment justice.
Lying in your arms after years have come and gone,
my heart is breaking with the dawn.

The clock is ticking slowly on the wall as I wait.
The seconds flow; they roll along like waves.
The clock is ticking slowly on the wall as I wait.
The seconds flow; they roll along like waves upon the ocean.
