Alano Lario - Ratches & Wheels Lyrics

In the heart of brass and steel, a story starts to wind
A coiled spring holds its power, in its secret, tightly lined
Gears that dance in rhythm, with purpose they reveal
The life within the watch face, ratches and wheels
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the whisper of the gears
Tick-tock, tick-tock, counting out the years
Tick-tock, tick-tock, steady as it feels
The song of time, ratches and wheels
A balance wheel that swings, a heartbeat's gentle sway
The hairspring keeps it steady, as seconds drift away
A symphony in motion, where each small piece appeals
To show the world its marvel, through ratches and wheels
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the whisper of the gears
Tick-tock, tick-tock, counting out the years
Tick-tock, tick-tock, steady as it feels
The song of time, ratches and wheels
The escapement's measured hand, a guardian so true
Releases energy in pulses, with each beat it renews
Minute hands take their mark, the hour's course it seals
A story told in whispers, by ratches and wheels
On a wrist, it travels far, with each movement finds its drive
A rotor spins, winding life, keeping time alive
A dance of pure precision, with a passion that appeals
The timeless tale of wonder, bound in ratches and wheels
Hands that never falter, through night or through day
Marking moments big and small, in their faithful sway
A legacy in motion, as time's touch softly heals
In the heartbeat of the ages, live ratches and wheels
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the whisper of the gears
Tick-tock, tick-tock, counting out the years
Tick-tock, tick-tock, steady as it feels
The song of time, ratches and wheels
Tick-tock, tick-tock, a heartbeat that heals
The endless dance, of ratches and wheels
