Gilly Slinn mitunes songs
Does anyone know where the time goes
The years disappear through a hole in my pocket.
And how many days are displayed on the page
And how many get there on time?
Hands on a mantelpiece and bells on a wheel.
That chimes out the hour that each number reveals.
And how many hours will the second hand steal?
Were drowning by numbers tonight.
Does anyone know where the people go
When they run out of luck and lay claim to the soil?
And how many faces replace them each day
And how many faces will fail?
From cream in the cradle to remembered on stone
The mainspring unwinds and our dust must return home.
And if love lingers on she must do so alone.
Were drowning by numbers tonight.
When the sum of our hopes is the sum of our fears
Then counting our blessings means counting our tears.
We are auctioneers...
And somewhere theres a number we dare not go near.
Cos were drowning by numbers tonight .
And rings around old eyes and rings round a tree.
Clocks without faces but with eyes that can see
That time marches on and shes counting on me
Oh we are drowning- we are drowning ...
Were drowning by numbers tonight.
The years disappear through a hole in my pocket.
And how many days are displayed on the page
And how many get there on time?
Hands on a mantelpiece and bells on a wheel.
That chimes out the hour that each number reveals.
And how many hours will the second hand steal?
Were drowning by numbers tonight.
Does anyone know where the people go
When they run out of luck and lay claim to the soil?
And how many faces replace them each day
And how many faces will fail?
From cream in the cradle to remembered on stone
The mainspring unwinds and our dust must return home.
And if love lingers on she must do so alone.
Were drowning by numbers tonight.
When the sum of our hopes is the sum of our fears
Then counting our blessings means counting our tears.
We are auctioneers...
And somewhere theres a number we dare not go near.
Cos were drowning by numbers tonight .
And rings around old eyes and rings round a tree.
Clocks without faces but with eyes that can see
That time marches on and shes counting on me
Oh we are drowning- we are drowning ...
Were drowning by numbers tonight.
