lyrics

Clocks

Clocks bear watching,
and are extremely useful tools
for counting time.

In fact there’d hardly be any without them.

In the race against time,

clocks keep track of your opponent’s

every movement.

In fact there’d hardly be any without them.

I see the big hand. I wear a wrist clock.

I see the little hand. I look at tower clocks.

I’ll see you at 10:24. I’ll be there at 10:24 p.m.

Clocks are numerical.

What counts is perfect accuracy.

In fact there’d hardly be any without them.

They say that time

can mend something delicate
like a broken heart.

In fact there’d hardly be any without them.

I see the big hand. I have my deadlines.

I see the little hand. I dread my deadlines.

I’ll see you at 10:24. I’ll be there at 10:24 p.m.

about

David Garland New York, New York

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon
