***

When your clock goes tick

mine goes tock

and the shopkeeper sighs

cause you and i

do not chime right

covered in dust

the broken pieces

who learned how to fall

before we ever flew

covered in dust

mysteries mistress entrusts

the crack ups we hold

in secret

as the shopkeeper sighs

you go tick

and i go tock

we would never change

our lives as one broken clock.
