Ivana Wong - Mary Had a Little Clock

Morbid song for a morbid Friday the 13th.





Mary had a little clock
  that worked in its own way
Just another afternoon in May
Children playing
  Birds were singing
    Postmen said hello
What if Mary wasn't late that day

Johnny was a lonely man
  who had not much to say
He is now on the roof to say goodbye
He was so in love with
Mary when she was engaged
Sadly he was not her fiance

So God I ask why today,
Are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray?
Is that how you work your way?
Now I'm so afraid
To some it was one fine day
To them the very end of life well that's their fate
So thats how people come and go
What's gonna happen no one knows

Johnny took a breath
and quietly he jumped off the roof
What if Mary wasn't late that day

So God I ask why today,
are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray?
Is that how you work your own way?
Now I'm so afraid
To some it was one fine day
To them the very end of life well thats their fate
So thats how people come and go
Whats gonna happen no one knows

So God I ask why today,
Well she had everything she dreamt of yesterday
But now the happiness subside
Will she rest in peace
in her own grave?
About him I dare not say,
He landed on her head and broke her neck they say
So thats how tragic life can be
Too bad that many still don't see

Mary had a little clock
that works in its own way
Yet she never has another day
