Lyric

The clock keeps a secret

Behind its silver face

It pockets all the minutes

Then leaves a traced embrace

Your hand found mine in passing

Like moonlight on the floor

The violins were waiting

For what we can't restore

And every turn is gentle

Every step a vow

The room leans in to listen

To what we cannot say now

The clock hides one more hour

The clock hides one more hour

Stay in my arms a while

Let the night forget our names

The clock hides one more hour

The clock hides one more hour

If this is where we part

Let it part in silver flames

Your smile in the candleglass

Still trembles when you move

A thousand little goodbyes

Kept dancing in the room

The harp was thin as longing

The bass was soft and low

I wore my best forever

And lost it, let it go

But if the doors are opening

And dawn is at the glass

I'll keep this slow girl heartbeat

As if it were the last

The clock hides one more hour

The clock hides one more hour

Stay in my arms a while

Let the night forget our names

The clock hides one more hour

The clock hides one more hour

If this is where we part

Let it part in silver flames

Maybe love is borrowed

Maybe time is kind

Giving us a hidden stair

Between your hand and mine

So when the hour breaks softly

And the ballroom turns to day

I'll hear your shoes in memory

Still waltzing far away

The clock hides one more hour

The clock hides one more hour

Stay in my arms a while

Let the night forget our names

The clock hides one more hour

The clock hides one more hour

If this is where we part

Let it part in silver flames

One more hour

One more hour

Until the dawn comes calling

And takes you from my heart
