Track Insight / Lyrics
Your pocket watch, an antique find
Frosty Amsterdam mornings, canal waters aligned
Beneath the bridge, where secrets entwine
Spilled espresso grounds, a fleeting rhyme
Whispers of time, mystery's chime
Rust slowly forms, impatient I recline
Frozen memories, love's fragile design
Just a single tick, before it's left behind
Gingerbread and glühwein, festive scents entwined
Gildehausschilder's paintings, stories untold and divine
Snowflakes swirl then settle, one by one divine
Fading sun on the Amstel, a lonely swan's entwine
Whispers of time, mystery's chime
Rust slowly forms, impatient I recline
Frozen memories, love's fragile design
Just a single tick, before it's left behind
The Wolf's Garter Company's banners fade sight
Sailors' tales and smugglers' goods, hidden in the night
The IJ river's icy grip, the city's slumber deep
AIDS Memorial Quilt, stitched love we cannot keep
Whispers of time, mystery's chime
Rust slowly forms, impatient I recline
Frozen memories, love's fragile design
Just a single tick, before it's left behind
Winding through the Jordaan, narrow canals beckon
Flower boxes painted pastel, secrets whispered, nothing spoken
Old masters' humble studios, where brush strokes and dreams
Entwined to create masterpieces, time's relentless themes
Whispers of time, mystery's chime
Rust slowly forms, impatient I recline
Frozen memories, love's fragile design
Just a single tick, before it's left behind
(thinning ticking, distant hum, snowfall settling)
(Silence, with a final muffled tick)
