The Clock Has Struck
My darling I’m afraid the dream is over
You used to love me and I loved you too
But now we see the ruthless wind has scattered
The rosy mist our eyes were covered with
We thought our happiness would last forever
We thought we’d stay together to the end
At first our love seemed endless like an ocean
Burt now we find it’s slowly ebbed away
Chorus:
The clock has struck and we’ve got to go
The play is run, all the words are said
Let us try, in our separate lives
Not to repeat the mistake we’ve made
It’s strange to see how loving ends in anger
Our kisses turn to hurting cruel words
The flames of love that burned so bright and tender
Became the devastating fire of hate
There was a time when we, so strong together
Performed the simple miracle of love
Today it’s different, and this power’s left us
We cannot turn our water into wine
Chorus.
There is no use in trying to revive it
There is no point in starting once again
I’m not the man to get down on my knees, dear
And beg for love I know you cannot give
We’re standing by the ruins of our feeling
And here’s the last thing that I want to say:
It’s hard to leave somebody you’ve been loving
But oh, it’s just as painful if you stay
Chorus.
