Lyrics
I wandered into an old watch repair shop
Some watchmaker on the north side of town
And took out an old steel banded wristwatch
My girl had given me when she was still around
I asked the man behind the counter to help me
He said 'son, to me this thing looks just fine'
I said, sir, this watch of mine don't need fixin'
It just needs somebody can make the hands rewind
This watch is all I got left that's still workin'
My time with her ran out a long time ago
Leavin' a wound that still leaves my heart hurtin'
And a pain the years will just not let go
And I just can't find a doctor to help me
A skilled watchmaker's 'bout the last hope I've got
So please loosen this steel band that keeps brushin' me
And take away this heavy pain that's been crushin' me
And give me back the time that's taken so much from me
And I'll be just fine
Watchmaker, turn back the hands of time
On this old wristwatch of mine
I said 'sir you won't have to go back too far
Just set it back a few short years ago
To that time when I spent all my free time with her
And when she knew my love would never let go
But time sure has a funny way of changing your priorities
And it did one hell of a nice job with mine
I wasted way too many lost days ignoring her precious
Until that day I finally ran out of time'
This watch is all I got left that's still workin'
My time with her ran out a long time ago
Leavin' a wound that still leaves my heart hurtin'
And a pain the years will just not let go
And I just can't find a doctor to help me
A skilled watchmaker's 'bout the last hope I've got
So please loosen this steel band that keeps brushin' me
And take away this heavy pain that's been crushin' me
And give me back the time that's taken so much from me
And I'll be just fine
Watchmaker, turn back the hands of time
On this old wristwatch of mine
And I just can't find a doctor to help me
A skilled watchmaker's 'bout the last hope I've got
So please loosen this steel band that keeps brushin' me
And take away this heavy pain that's been crushin' me
And give me back the time that's taken so much from me
And I'll be just fine, just fine
Watchmaker, turn back the hands of time
On this old wristwatch of mine
