[00:18.72]Mary had a little clock that works in its own way,

[00:23.02]just another afternoon in May

[00:27.28]Children playing birds were singing postmen said hello,

[00:32.16]What if Mary wasn't late that day

[00:35.40]

[00:36.67]Johnny was a lonely man who has not much to say

[00:41.05]He's now on the roof to say goodbye

[00:45.42]He was so in love with Mary when she was engaged,

[00:49.70]Sadly he was not her fiance

[00:54.46]

[01:09.73]So God I ask why today,

[01:13.78]are they not dear enough to you?

[01:16.48]Did they not pray?

[01:18.64]Is that how you work your way?

[01:23.65]Now I'm so afraid

[01:27.75]

[01:28.62]To some it was one fine day,

[01:31.85]to them the very end of life well that's their fate

[01:38.07]So that's how people come and go

[01:42.11]What's gonna happen no one knows

[01:46.77]

[01:48.30]Johnny took a breath and quietly he jumped off the roof

[01:53.28]What if Mary wasn't late that day

[01:57.65]

[02:24.81]So God I ask why today,

[02:28.44]are they not dear enough to you?

[02:30.75]Did they not pray?

[02:32.77]Is that how you work your own way?

[02:37.91]Now I'm so afraid

[02:41.46]

[02:42.94]To some it was one fine day,

[02:46.14]to them the very end of life well that's their fate

[02:52.41]So that's how people come and go

[02:56.57]What's gonna happen no one knows

[03:00.47]

[03:00.97]So God I ask why today,

[03:04.03]well she had everything she dreamt of yesterday

[03:08.39]But now the happiness subside

[03:13.59]Will she rest in peace in her own grave?

[03:18.51]Bout' him I dare not say,

[03:21.63]he landed on her head and broke her neck they say.

[03:28.15]So that's how tragic life can be

[03:32.29]Too bad that many still don't see

[03:37.89]

[03:39.72]Mary had a little clock that works in its own way

[03:44.96]Yet she never has another day

[03:52.66]
