BING, BONG, BING, BONG,

The clock hand strokes another number

The beautiful noise like the Liberty Bell.


The man beside me covers his ears

A lady leaves the room

I listen to it's sad song

Mourning the pass of another hour


The Grandfather smells of old varnish

It's wood frame cracks at the edges

The painted hands chip as they pass fading roman numerals

It creaks as it's brass pendulum moves

From side, to side


BING, BONG, BING, BONG,

The clock hand strokes another number

The beautiful noise like the Liberty Bell.
