[intro]
Once upon no time at all
in an out of the way corner
and deep in the shadows
there stood a house
[big finish]
Just behind the door
by himself, all alone
lived a melancholy man
who called this his home
[build]
Life felt meaningless
to a man in his chair
what was the point
why was he there?
[big finish]
As a boy, he would watch
the hands on the clock
passing the time
with a tick and a tock
[big finish]
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
[build]
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
[female techno]
Far and Away
From his lonely home
Sat a beautiful princess
Alone on her throne
[female techno]
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
[big finish]
Gazing out of her window
That magical eve
She saw a bright beacon
That called her to leave
[build]
She followed the beam
From the land she had known
And arrived at the steps
That climbed to his home
[big finish]
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]
