[Dm] _ [Am] I once [Em] had a gilded clock [C]
constructed in [Dm] my belly pot
The hour hand broke, [Am] now it won't turn back so long, [G] so long, [Am] so long
I once [Em] had a sundial too, [C] but green and wild [Dm] my garden grew
The undergrowth [Am] obscured the view [Em] so long, so long, [Am] so long
[F] [G] Not a word [Em] could make [F] a stay, the [G] east wind [C] blows the sun away
[F] Oh, I [G] lost her [Em] on St.
[F] Swithin's Day, oh why?

[Bb] _ [Am] _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _
[Dm] [Am] I grew up [Em] in a house of [C] clocks, and late at night [Dm] I'd sometimes walk
Listening to [Am] their rhythmic talks so [G] long, so long, [Am] so long
Clocks that [Em] sang in ringing [C] chimes, take the [Dm] measure of the times
Clocks that [Am] spoke in wordless rhymes so [G] long, so [Am] long, so long
[F] [G] Not a word [Em] could make [F] a stay, the [G] east wind [C] blows the sun away
[F] Oh, I [G] lost her on [Em] St.
[F] Swithin's Day, oh why? _

_ [G] Not a word could [F] make a stay, the [G] wine is [C] spilt and flows [F] away
Oh, I [G] lost her [Em] on St.
