Eponymous Sparrow - Pocketwatch Waltz Lyrics

My love
I won't be long
Just five more minutes
While I finish this song

My love
You always wait
While I spend five more minutes
Just making us late

Sorry for the time
I must have lost track
It's bygone now
There's no taking it back

I'll try dear
I promise I'll try
To not let these moments
Keep slipping on by

For you
I'll wear a watch
Although I possess
No fondness for clocks

After all
You smile at me
Even though I wasn't ready
Till 7:15

I'm sorry my dear
It was not intended
I never had regard
For the hour or the minute

I'll try dear
I promise I'll try
To keep track of the days
That keep flyin' on by

Correct
Twice a day
At least that's what I tell
Myself, anyway

Darling
Time isn't free
So thank you for each minute
That you spend with me

The silver lining
In the clouds it seems
Is that my bad sense of time
Pays no one no heed

And my love
It doesn't wait
So send death my regards
And tell him I will be late
