Pocket Watch in the Velvet Vest

[Intro] [Watch Ticking & Pocket Watch Lid Click] Tick, tock... tick, tock... Gold pocket watch in the velvet vest Time to give this wandering heart a rest [Verse 1] [Upright Piano & Warm Double Bass] Chain loops through the third buttonhole A classic talisman for my soul Grandfather carried it in forty-four Across the silence to a foreign shore Roman numerals etched upon the gold The finest legacy that I could hold [Pre-Chorus] [Muted Trumpet & Soft Brush Snare] I wind the stem with three gentle turns While my peaceful spirit quietly learns [Chorus] [Elegant Vintage Soul Drop] Gold pocket watch ticking against my chest A steady rhythm that my heart loves best Not a single second wasted on the vanity Walking with dignity and sanity Tick, tock, keep the measure slow Everywhere my gentlemanly footsteps go [Verse 2] [Rhodes Chords & Snaps] Tailored tweed jacket in the autumn cold Looking at the city from a balcony bold I check the time: quarter past ten Ready to begin the masterpiece again [Bridge] [Soulful Tenor Belt & Piano Solo] Let the digital clocks race fast and wild I'll keep the patience of a faithful child Time is a river flowing calm and deep A sacred promise that I mean to keep [Chorus] [Full Grand Elegant Climax] Gold pocket watch ticking against my chest A steady rhythm that my heart loves best Not a single second wasted on the vanity Walking with dignity and sanity Tick, tock, keep the measure slow Everywhere my gentlemanly footsteps go [Outro] [Watch Lid Snaps Closed & Footstep] Gold pocket watch... Right on time. [Fade Out] [End]
