I found my clock, my memory, my grave.

Middle of the night.
When the world is asleep, the lights outside make her awake.
Inside her mind, she could not figure out if it's dream, it's memory or just a fantasy.
Quietly, breathing softly, and slowly, asphyxiated.
Whatever - who cares...?

Mary had a little clock that works in its own way, just another afternoon in May
Children playing birds were singing postmen said hello,
What if Mary wasn’t late that day 

Johnny was a lonely man who has not much to say
He’s now on the roof to say goodbye
He was so in love with Mary when she was engaged, 
Sadly he was not her fiance 


So God I ask why today, 
are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray? 
Is that how you work your way? 
Now I’m so afraid 
To some it was one fine day, to them the very end of life well that’s their fate 
So that’s how people come and go 
What’s gonna happen no one knows 


Johnny took a breath and quietly he jumped off the roof 
What if Mary wasn’t late that day 

So God I ask why today, are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray? 
Is that how you work your own way? 
Now I’m so afraid 
To some it was one fine day, to them the very end of life well that’s their fate 
So that’s how people come and go 
What’s gonna happen no one knows 
So God I ask why today, well she had everything she dreamt of yesterday 
But now the happiness subside 
Will she rest in peace in her own grave? 
Bout’ him I dare not say, he landed on her head and broke her neck they say. 
So that’s how tragic life can be 
Too bad that many still don’t see 


Mary had a little clock that works in its own way
Yet she never has another day
