[Verse 1]
C Dm C Dm
Behind a curtain of dust on the other side of a shop window
Am Em Dm G
There stands an old golden clock, on a shelf of dead wood and dust
C Dm C Em
Hasn’t been looked at for years, hasn’t tolled in the near past
Am Em Dm G
It’s key to wind it up long lost, a room as cold as the winter’s frost
[Verse 2]
C Dm C Dm
The remains of a forgotten life, neglected and doomed to fade
Am Em Dm G C
Time inside has stopped, since the door has been closed for the last time
C Dm C
Since fifteen years not one second has passed, clock hands overdrawn with
Em
rust
Am Em Dm C
Memories looking’ the same rusting and fading away
[Chorus]
F C Dm Am
The only reason it still exists are the glances of the nightly wanderers
F Am Dm E Am
Wondering who may has lived in this cabinet of time
F C Dm Am F Am Dm E Am
[Verse 3]
C Dm C Dm
Could have been an old man’s home with a pug as his only friend
Am Em Dm G
Who sold antiques for his rent, you could find whatever you wanted
C Dm C Em
The last grain of sand fell down, his hourglass started to gaunt
Am Em Dm G
A slow life of quiet and peace, passed away in his dreams
[Verse 4]
C Dm C Dm
Could have been a young woman’s store, full of life, of joy and of fun
Am Em Dm G
Has not been opened for long, filled with CDs and vinyl records of old-time
C
songs
C Dm C Em
Had no family no friends, came alone and alone she left
Am Em Dm C
A records last song did play, as her life was fading away
[Chorus]
F C Dm Am
The only reason it still exists are the glances of the nightly wanderers
F Am Dm E Am
Wondering who may has lived in this cabinet of time
