We Can't Get Time Back Once it's Past

There's this clock I brought in Townsville while cruising on the reef
A present for the old ones back at home
When wandering days were done the oceans setting sun
led me to their open arms a-gain

The clock sat by the bedside its tinny tones would sing
and welcome each new morning bright and clear
The years passed slow since Mum died and the Old Man cried in-side
Her raincoat hung for-ever by the door

Chorus
The clock reminds me that things change yet they stay the same
The fallen rise a-gain to get back in the game
Every-thing I gave them came back to me at last
But we can't get time back once it's past
We just can't get time back once it's past

------ instrumental chorus ---------

The years so long and awkward the clock has seen them all
It watches over me now that they're gone
Its ra-dio is quiet these days time heals us in so many ways
It still lights my night and greets the dawn

The clock reminds me that things change yet they stay the same
The fallen rise a-gain to get back in the game
Every-thing I gave them came back to me at last
But we can't get time back once it's past
No we can't get time back once its past
We just can't get time back once it's past
