No Clock Lyrics

There was smoke in the city

There was dust upon the plains

There was fire in the belly of the beast

And a burning rain

There was quiet in the valley

Blackened by the mark of Cain

The sky grew heavy

But the dryness in the mouth remained

No thought for tomorrow

No light to lead the way

No music to ease the sorrow

No clock to turn back the day

There were people on the beach

But no one could see the sun

While they waited in vain for the rain

That would never come

By the side of the road

There was nowhere left to run

There was aching in then bones

When the day was done

No thought for tomorrow

No light to lead the way

No music to ease the sorrow

No clock to turn back the day

There was smoke in the city

There was dust upon the plains

There was fire in the belly of the beast

And a burning rain

There was quiet in the valley

Blackened by the mark of Cain

The sky grew heavy

But the dryness in the mouth remained

No thought for tomorrow

No light to lead the way

No music to ease the sorrow

No clock to turn back the day
