Windup Clocks and Wedding Rings | Track 12-14 | 1963

(1968 – Classic Pop-Rock Trio Sound) [Intro – Snappy Start] (Short drum fill, guitar riff walks in tight with bass. Rhythm swings just a touch, light and confident.) [Verse 1] She keeps her heart in a secondhand drawer, Tied with a ribbon she don’t wear no more. Time ticks slow and the record spins, Same old song where the story begins. [Verse 2] He winds his watch and checks the time, Says, “Love was sweet, but it’s past its prime.” He hums that tune from ’63, Back when clocks ran wild and free. [Chorus] Windup clocks and wedding rings, Promises the daylight brings. Turn the key and hear it sing — Windup clocks and wedding rings. [Verse 3] Hands still turn but the faces fade, Dreams keep time with the plans they made. Tick and tock through everything, Windup clocks and wedding rings. [Bridge – Instrumental Break] (Short melodic bass lead over guitar rhythm — playful, almost cheeky. Drums swing gently, tom fills echo the lyric rhythm.) [Final Chorus + Outro] Windup clocks and wedding rings, Every vow a song that clings. Love don’t stop, it just slows down — Like a clock in a wedding town. (Guitar riff repeats twice, fades on a single cymbal hit.)
