Lyrics
His pencil meets the paper with such grace
As he sets his life to verse upon a page
Every single detail is recalled
Watched over by the clock that's on the wall
Watched over by the clock that's on the wall
He can take you anywhere inside your mind
You'll feel the warmth inside your heart from where he shines
He seeks nothing in return, just let him know
That when the pencil fails to move
The light inside still grows
The chorus, bridge and verse have all been placed
As the stanzas of his life are changing every day
Life so full that time can't comprehend
Still the clock just keeps on ticking to the end
The clock just keeps on ticking to the end
He can take you anywhere inside your mind
You'll feel the warmth inside your heart from where he shines
He seeks nothing in return, just let him know
That when the pencil fails to move
The light inside still grows
He writes of life, the writer does
He writes of love, the writer does
Keeps one eye on the clock and looks for God, the writer does
The most important verse of all he can't rewrite
Though he possesses all the words he needs to help him fight
With each song he writes he's hoping he can stop
The hands that keep on ticking 'round the clock
The hands that keep on ticking 'round the clock
Yeah, with each song he writes he's hoping he can stop
The hands that keep on ticking 'round the clock
The hands that keep on ticking 'round the clock
