The Watchmaker

I’m just a dog with a guitar
But you’re a match without a spark
And while my road’s in the dead of night
At least my song will turn back on the light
I’m just a dream (I'm just a dream) of someone else
While she’s a girl who’s lost herself
And though one day this spell may complete
(This spell may complete)
There’s not an ending to her sleep
And we’re all traveling, traveling
Down this spiral
But big bangs turn into universes
Every end’s a new beginning!
Ah!
Oh, I could be a Watchmaker!
And then Time can’t hold us back, oh!
Ah!
And you could be my heart-breaker!
So that Time won’t seem so lonely on my…
Own!
I’m just a dog with a guitar
But he’s a tin man who’s lost his heart (Oooo!)
And though my sun may set all too fast
Without love, I don’t wanna be be built to last!
I’m just a dream of someone else
But you’re a toy, forgotten on the shelf (Oooo!)
Ticking away in a blizzard of dust
There’s not a soul left you can trust!
And we’re all rambling, rambling
Like a choir
But if Truth, that woman’s the daughter of Time
I’d live on a clock, if she could be mine!
Ah!
Oh, I could be a Watchmaker!
And then Time can’t hold us back, oh!
Ah!
And you could be my heart-breaker!
So that Time won’t seem so lonely ON MY OWN!
ON MY OWN!
ON MY OWN!
ON MY OWN!
I’m just a dog (just a dog) with a guitar
Like every poet left in the dark
(In the dark)
I’ll bury every clock to pretend
(Bury every clock)
Back covers never mean the end…
(The end is…)
Woah, NOW!
Oh, I could be a Watchmaker!
And then Time can’t hold us back, oh!
Ah!
And you could be my heart-breaker!
So that Time won’t seem so lonely on my own!
I’m just a dog with a guitar
Like every poet left in the dark
I’ll bury every clock to pretend
Back covers never mean the end…
