When the words that we believed had bled away.
Silent, I was left with black ink and an empty page.
I didn't write, I just let the words escape.
From my open mouth.
You believed in what fell out.
I watched the colour rise to dance beneath your skin.
Heard the blaze of hope well inside your chest again.
Saw you start to question all I said.
So I promised change.
And knew that you would wait.
A watched clock never turns.
Elisabeth, we leave in the morning.
You were the only watch I ever had to keep.
Heard the stairs unfold a hymn to sound your sweet release.
A voice cleared and a hand against the keys.
A watch that kept.
Your footprints as you fled.
A watched clock never turns.
Elisabeth, we leave in the morning.
A watched clock never turns.
Elisabeth, we leave in the morning.
All the hours you wait are wasted.
You should know a watched clock never turns.
You never did say that you wished you
were lonely, but these nights slip away.
My love, you've got to believe me.
All this, it can change.
Elisabeth, we leave in the morning.
