I. Allegro con brio
Clocks, 42, Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

Clocks

Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing
You... are...

Confusion it never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know
You... are...

And nothing else compares...


42

Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell I am living there
as well
Time is so short and I’m sure there must be
something more

You thought you might be a ghost


Clocks

Home, home, where I wanted to go


Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

I turn the music up
I got my records on
I shut the world outside
Until the lights come on

Maybe the streets alight
Maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating
To my favorite song

I turn the music up
I got my records on
From underneath the rubble
Sing a rebel song

Maybe I’m in the black
Maybe I’m on my knees
Maybe I’m in the gap
Between the two trapezes

But my heart is beating
And my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
As we saw

Oh this light
I swear you emerge blinking
To tell me it’s alright
As we soar walls
Sirens are a symphony
Every tear’s a waterfall
