Brother Firetribe - Ticking Away

In the last days of September
As the leaves fell from the trees
As the wind started blowing colder
That's when time just stopped for me

I should've seen it coming
I thought I was prepared
But the winter just came running
Freezing everything we shared

And the clock keeps ticking away
Tick tock ticking away

I wake up, I fall down
Lying here on the stony ground
And the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

It's a long way to climb
Has it all been a waste of time
'Cause the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

I should try to turn me loose
To cut the ties that bind
I should just cut down the booze
Have a clear and open mind

But things they just don't work that way
When all the light is dark
So all I do is hope and pray
To get back the fire and spark

And the clock keeps ticking away
Tick tock ticking away

I wake up, I fall down
Lying here on the stony ground
And the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

It's a long way to climb
Has it all been a waste of time
'Cause the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

And the clock keeps ticking away

I wake up, I fall down
Lying here on the stony ground
And the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

It's a long way to climb
Has it all been a waste of time
'Cause the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)
