Tick, Tock, the hands slide

In an empty old house where nobody came

Maybe it’s width was too wide

Or something else that put it to shame

There must be a reason, to itself it lied

Nobody would come, not if they were paid

Tick, Tock, the hands slide

In an empty old house where nobody came

Or maybe it was just tied

to something that it could claim

Or maybe people were just shy

After all, that could be the blame

Would anyone even care if it cried

Tick, Tock, the hands slide

In an empty old house where nobody came
