The Clock in the Other Room
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the house a small clock keeps on swinging
steady as a heartbeat, patient in the dark
and under every hush its quiet tune is singing
a soft and steady rhythm just to guard your spark

[Pre-chorus]
Every gentle swing is time drawing you nearer to rest
nothing in this house will hurry you or bring you harm
so let your eyes grow heavy, you are held and you are blessed

[Chorus]
Aoife, the whole night leans in soft to hold you
warm as the last light before the lamp goes low
nothing out there in the dark can ever scold you
Aoife, you are the sweetest thing I know

[Verse 2]
Far off the pendulum keeps swaying slow and steady
marking out the minutes with no need to rush or race
and every little breath you take, I'm here already
watching over stillness settle soft across your face

[Chorus]
Aoife, the whole night leans in soft to hold you
warm as the last light before the lamp goes low
nothing out there in the dark can ever scold you
Aoife, you are the sweetest thing I know

[Bridge]
Let the ticking carry you where dreaming waters flow
you are loved beyond the hour, further than you know

[Chorus]
Aoife, the whole night leans in soft to hold you
warm as the last light before the lamp goes low
nothing out there in the dark can ever scold you
Aoife, you are the sweetest thing I know

[Outro]
Somewhere the small clock swings on, low and slow and true
and all it ever counts, my love, is time spent loving you
