Clockmaker Songtext
von Denison Witmer

As I drove in the nail that was attached to a spring
I adjusted the door for the breadth of its swing
She looked at me and said
"Did you know that I was once a clockmaker?
A clockmaker?

I didn′t do aesthetics
I designed the works and gears
I refined my mathematics
For over 30 years
It takes a special kind of mind
If you're going to learn to be a clockmaker (clockmaker)
A clockmaker (clockmaker)


Now my children are grown
With children of their own
My house, it feels a little quiet
So do you mind if I stand
And watch you work with your hands?
It′s a language that I understand"

I said, "Take all the time that you need"
I stepped back
Pulled down my mask
She smiled at me
And my dad joke
To a clockmaker
A clockmaker
A clockmaker
A clockmaker
