Colin Hilton - Clock Weight Lyrics

Desolation wakens me and tolls the rusting bell
Calls imagination like a curious child calling for echoes down a well
A lens elation comforts me the shutter breathes the light
Colours fade in search of distant decades
That frame I chose was never right
You and I we took a moment out of time and tried to capture all the feelings we've denied
As the clock weight swings side to side benign and taking its time to cry
Will you my darling wait for me?
Don't pass before my time
There's no knowing if our paths will ever cross
Which sentry at the gate was told to lie?
A single moment capturing a play
A tourniquet on life
I forget the words I'm on a different page
Which character should twist the knife?
You and I we spent the morning by her side and cried capturing the moments in her life
As the clock weight swings side to side distant echoes taking their time to die
You and I we took the mourning of a life and tried to bury all the feelings we've denied
As the clock weight swings side to side before and after
Laughing till the morning breaks the li
