Story behind the song

I composed my piano piece during 50/90. Patrick heard it and he kindly offered to collaborate on the song. Here is our collaboration with Patrick's beautiful and very moving lyric and recital.

Lyrics

You Are Looking at a Clock' 
©2015 Nadia Cripps and Patrick Bonier 
Music by Nadia Cripps, Lyric and Recital by Patrick Bonier 

You are looking at a clock 
That sits above the fireplace 
And you stand alone and awkward 
As the hands move ‘round its face 

And your finger’s in a book 
That you’re not reading ‘cause you’re looking 
At a clock 
You can’t stop 

Now you see that it’s past 2 AM 
You wonder what to do 
If she was here you know you’d go to bed 

But you’ve given up on slumber 
And you’re staring at the numbers 
On your watch 
So you pour another scotch. And you are 

Looking at a clock 
And you sit here taking stock 
But that ship has left the dock so long ago 
And you wonder if you wish it wasn’t so 
After all this time you’d think that you would know 

In the silence, as you listen 
You can tell that something’s wrong 
In the night 
There’s a fragment of a song 

And the second hand sweeps 
And the hour hand will creep 
Time goes slow 
Time goes slow 
Time goes slow 

You are looking at a clock 
You are looking at a clock 
You are looking at a clock
