Hickory Path

[Intro] On the clock, the minute hand reminds me of you Tick and tock, a rhythm I can’t break through [Verse 1] Hickory dickory, the hour wore a silver grin Mouse in the corner, counting all the chimes within Whispers of a market street, a glow in every shop window Time keeps its secrets, but my heart wants to know [Pre-Chorus] If the clock could speak, what stories would it tell? Of doors that shut softly and echoes that swell [Chorus] Tick, tock, the night keeps moving on I’m chasing echoes till the dawn is gone Hickory dickory, I’m choosing to stay Let the hands keep turning, I’ll find my way [Verse 2] Mama clock sighs, old stories in brass and lace Footsteps drift like paper boats on a river of grace Every chime a memory, every stair a lingering note I walk this line between now and hope [Pre-Chorus] If the clock could speak, what stories would it tell? Of doors that shut softly and echoes that swell [Chorus] Tick, tock, the night keeps moving on I’m chasing echoes till the dawn is gone Hickory dickory, I’m choosing to stay Let the hands keep turning, I’ll find my way [Bridge] Seconds spill like raindrops, painting the floor I gather them up, I’m wider than before [Chorus] Tick, tock, the night keeps moving on I’m chasing echoes till the dawn is gone Hickory dickory, I’m choosing to stay Let the hands keep turning, I’ll find my way [Outro] Clockwise or counter, I’ll learn to be brave Through every tick of time, I’ll carve my name
