Lyric

【Verse 1】

Clockwork days keep winding on

Counting down to Friday night

I stretched myself a bit too far

But the weekend’s finally in sight

Let’s wind a rubber band again

And send a paper plane to fly—

All the hours I locked away

Spin out into the summer sky

【Pre-Chorus】

Sip slow, a glass of rooibos tea

Cold enough to calm my mind

Hear the distant African

Drums that start to keep the time

Ice rings out like tiny bells

A fan that slowly rocks its head

Sunlight melts the afternoon

Petals drifting where they tread

Far away… so far away

【Chorus】

In an empty glass

A quiet echo starts to sing

I fade into a drowsy nap

Until my missed alarm begins

【Verse 2】

Trick‐built days keep circling back

I limp into the weekend shore

A tin toy tumbles off the table

I wind it up once more

Fresh and warm, my rooibos tea—

Let it cool before I drink

Hear the ancient heartbeat drum

Calling from the desert brink

Steam unravels in the air

Like zebras lost in heat-hazed light

On a scorched and trembling plain

Flowers root with all their might

Leave the rest to luck and time

Petals drifting out of sight

Far away… so far away

【Bridge】

Inside my teacup world

You sit with folded arms, so small

Don’t stay hiding over there—

Come on, come on

Let’s dance, let’s dance

【Moonlight Section】

Under the full moon’s glow

The flowers hum a gentle howl

Petals float like wanderers

Resting by an oasis pool

Far away… so far away

【Outro】

Clockwork days are winding up—

No matter what, they start again

(Here they come, the days we spin.)
