Dancing On A Clock

All my deepest feelings are naked to your eyes.

You do not answer.

All my song and bluster can never quite disguise

The timid dancer.

Dancing on a clock, clinging to a rock

Of sweet emotion

I am just a lock

You are just the key made to open me.

Once I had a lover much older than today,

Young as tomorrow:

Opened every portal and then went on his way.

My song is sorrow.

Dancing on a clock, clinging to a rock

Of sweet emotion

I am just a lock

You are just the key made to open me.

Bridge: And now I see a world to explore

Beyond your eyes. I am afraid.

Somehow I feel like giving you more,

And yet, my tries are left unmade.

My enthusiasm has frightened some before;

I now expect it.

If you can take my giving, I ask for nothing more.

Please, don't reject it.

Dancing on a clock, clinging to a rock

Of sweet emotion

I am just a lock

You are just the key made to open me.

Bridge: And now I see a world to explore

Beyond your eyes. I am afraid.

Somehow I feel like giving you more,

And yet, my tries are left unmade.

All my deepest feelings are naked to your eyes.

You do not answer.

All my song and bluster can never quite disguise

The timid dancer.

Dancing on a clock, clinging to a rock

Of sweet emotion

I am just a lock

You are just the key made to open me.

I am just a lock

You are just the key, will you open me?
