[Intro]
Dusty benches glow as twilight rests on brass and glass
The quiet hum of clocks keeps time with a softer past
[Verse 1]
He tightens a screw, eyes tracing tiny lines of fate
But in his chest a different rhythm beats, ornate
He remembers a name, a kiss in rain, a softer clock to keep
That love outlasts the gears he winds before he sleeps
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe the finest mechanism isn’t steel but trust
The hands that hold another’s heart when days are rough
[Chorus]
The greatest tick-tock is your smile in the dark
Not the gears he tends, but the light you spark
He learns to measure time by love, not by price or fame
In every small moment, you are his timeless flame
[Verse 2]
He lines up the cogs and lets the pendulum sway
Yet memories click like bells of a brighter day
A lullaby he hums, a vow whispered near the wave of dawn
That love outlives every tick, every tool he’s drawn
[Bridge]
If the bench grows quiet and the hours start to blur
He finds the pulse of you, a truth that will occur
[Chorus]
The greatest tick-tock is your smile in the dark
Not the gears he tends, but the light you spark
He learns to measure time by love, not by price or fame
In every small moment, you are his timeless flame
[Outro]
So let the clockmaker close his eyes and listen well
The love he keeps is the story time will tell
