based on original music by "raiders of the lost heart"! (ROLAND15)

New Version!

a hundred watches/Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I wake up with the morning light
The same old shirt, the same old train
Same faces in the window glass
Same silence in the rain

I play my part, I pay my dues
I smile when I should smile
A little wheel, in a giant clock
Turning all the while

[Chorus]
I own a hundred watches, but still I don’t have time
A golden cage, a busy life, and empty dreams of mine
I keep on running circles, pretending doing fine

I own a hundred watches, but still I don’t have time

[Verse 2]
I make more money every day
But never see the sun
There’s always someone needing me
Another race to run

Dinner plans and birthday calls
no single day for me
I wonder when my own life turned
Into responsibility

[Bridge]
Maybe life is not a ladder
Maybe success can make you blind
Maybe all the things I’m chasing
Are the things I leave behind

[Final Chorus]
I own a hundred watches, but still I don’t have time
A golden cage, a crowded room, and quiet tears inside
I keep on turning like a gear beneath a painted sky
I own a hundred watches, but still I don’t have time

[Outro]
A cage of gold, a busy life, and empty dreams of mine
I keep on running circles, pretending doing fine
