Tick tock tick tock
Drip drop drip drop
Paint of the numbers falls off the grandfather clock
Its paint old
It's wood smooth
Years gone by its counted

Tick tock tick tock
Drip drop drip drop
Every flood starts with a drop
Every drought starts with a drop
Water flowing or river bank dry,
It has been there through time

Tick tock tick tock
Drip drop drip drop
Eyes open and all life starts with breath
Life ends and death starts with a breath

Tick tock tick tock
Drip drop drip drop
Dreams are soft
Life is a rock
Stones unturned and never to be found
Some hide beneath the ground

Tick tock tick tock
Drip drop drip drop
Rain patters the window
The clocks rhythm unaffected
The water hits the ground
The clock clangs its hourly harmony
The water speaks
The gears creek
Signs of time going by
