Hillside Clock (Rosette Christopher, Chrono Crusade)

[Verse 1] Rosette with the silver face Your hand in mine, I set the pace Joshua's name stuck in my throat I made a deal I couldn't quote You came down with broken horns Mean eyes, soft grin, something torn I said, "Stand there, don't you move" You laughed like you had something to prove [Pre-Chorus] Then the watch lit up my chest Like a secret I had kept Every second took its share And I felt my hair go spare [Chorus] Tick, tick, Chrono Hold me close, don't let go Tick, tick, Chrono Love me while the hands run low Tick, tick, Chrono We were born to break slow Tick, tick, Chrono Still I choose you, I choose you, I know [Verse 2] I wore the crown, I used your name Called you mine in a joking game But every spell came with a price A little more of me each time You would catch me when I shook Count my breaths, then steal a look Your fallen horns, your crooked smile Made the losing feel worthwhile [Pre-Chorus] Now my knees know every stair My reflection is less there Still you reach for me like rain Like you never learned my pain [Chorus] Tick, tick, Chrono Hold me close, don't let go Tick, tick, Chrono Love me while the hands run low Tick, tick, Chrono We were born to break slow Tick, tick, Chrono Still I choose you, I choose you, I know [Bridge] On that hillside, quiet grass No more running, no more past Joshua safe beyond the door And I don't ask for more You fold my hand inside your own Warm as dusk, as old stone If this is the end, let it be Soft as your face, close to me [Final Chorus] Tick, tick, Chrono Hold me close, don't let go Tick, tick, Chrono Let the last light touch us slow Tick, tick, Chrono We were made to fade, I know Tick, tick, Chrono Still I choose you, I choose you, I know [Outro] On the hill, we disappear Side by side, no fear Tick, tick, Chrono Hold me close, don't let go
