The Watchmaker Lyrics - The Raven That Refused To Sing - Steven Wilson

The watchmaker works all day, and long into the night 

He pieces things together 

Despite his failing sight 

Though all the cogs connect with such poetic grace 

Time has left its curse upon this place 

Each hour becomes another empty space to fill 

Wasted with the care 

And virtues of his skill 

The watchmaker buries something deep within his thoughts 

A shadow on the staircase 

Of someone from before 

This thing is broken now 

And cannot be repaired 

Fifty years of compromise 

And aging bodies shared 

Eliza dear, you know there's something I should say 

I never really loved you 

But I'll miss you anyway 

You were just meant to be temporary 

While I waited for gold 

We filled up the years and I found that 

I liked having someone to hold 

But for you I had to wait 

Until one day it was too late 

Cogs and levers mesh 

We are bound in death 

Melt the silver down 

I'm still inside you 

Cogs and levers mesh 

We are bound in death 

Melt the silver down 

I'm still inside you 

Cogs and levers mesh 

We are bound in death 

Melt the silver down 

I'm still inside you
