[intro]
Once upon no time at all
in an out of the way corner
and deep in the shadows
there stood a house
[build]
Just behind the door
by himself, all alone
lived in melancholy man
who called this home
Life felt meaningless
to a man in his chair
what was the point
why was he there?
[build]
As a boy, he would watch
the hands on the clock
passing the time
with a tick and a tock
In the prime of his youth,
still all that he saw
was the passage of time
And the hands on the wall
[big finish]
Every moment the same
This obsession with clocks
until one faithful day
to his door came a box
[build]
He took it in hand
and red this one line
a promise of love
unbounded by time
For so very long
he thought his life tragic
but with the small mystery
came a new sense of magic
[big finish]
He opened the gift
and out, poured a light
That shined out the box
and into the night
Far and Away
From his lonely home
Sat a beautiful princess
Alone on her throne
She dreamt of escape
From her duties and dread
And looked to the stars
In the sky overhead
[build]
Oh, bring me a prince
To sit by my side
She hoped and she prayed
She wished and she cried
Gazing out of her window
That magical eve
She saw a bright beacon
That called her to leave
She followed the beam
From the land she had known
And arrived at the steps
That climbed to his home
The man opened the door
For his princess and bride
As She opened her heart
And then stepped inside
[big finish]
From then ever after
No more ticking or tock
There is more to this life
Then duties and clocks
[instrumental]
