Title:
“Clockwork Hearts”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Looking through the window, [D]watching time go by,
[Em]Life’s a spinning carousel, [C]underneath the sky.
[G]Our hearts are thumping, [D]to the rhythm of the rain,
[Em]In the world of clockwork hearts, [C]we are but a grain.
(Chorus)
[G]In the chaos of the cosmos, [D]we found love so bright,
[Em]Our clockwork hearts in sync, [C]in the darkest night.
[G]Like a symphony of stars, [D]our love is a song,
[Em]In the world of clockwork hearts, [C]we continue to belong.
(Verse 2)
[G]As the seasons change, [D]and years roll by,
[Em]Our clockwork hearts remain, [C]unyielding to the sky.
[G]Through the storm and sunshine, [D]in the thrumming rain,
[Em]Our love is a constant, [C]through joy and pain.
(Chorus)
[G]In the chaos of the cosmos, [D]we found love so bright,
[Em]Our clockwork hearts in sync, [C]in the darkest night.
[G]Like a symphony of stars, [D]our love is a song,
[Em]In the world of clockwork hearts, [C]we continue to belong.
(Outro)
[G]Here we stand, [D]love in our hands,
[Em]Two clockwork hearts, [C]making our own plans.
