Slow Going

[Verse 1]
Standing between the windup the clock and the bed
My arms at my side
The arms of the clock are tied behind its back

[Pre-Chorus]
Try as I do, I can't keep up with time
I lose another day every night
And as I tie the hands of time
The hands of time untie my life

[Chorus]
It's so slow going, my love
Time will run out, but I will not run out on you
Take me through the mesh of the afternoon
Sew with the tread of when will I see you again
One more is one less

[Verse 2]
Stand in-between the front door and the mausoleum
My arms wave around
The wrist watch handcuff is torn off and thrown to the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Try as I do, I can't keep up with time
I lose another day every night
And as I try to undo all that time has done
The hands of time undid my life

[Chorus]
It's so slow going, my love
Time will run out, but I will not run out on you
Take me through the mesh of the afternoon
Sew with the tread of when will I see you again
One more is one less

[Outro]
It's so slow going
