Glenn Bagshaw - Time's Up

This clock that chimes the time at noon
precisely at the stroke will toll.
Yes, never late nor yet too soon
this clock that chimes the time at noon.
To fated dates we're not immune!
Wear out half hours, spare the whole;
this clock that chimes the time at noon
precisely at the stroke will toll.
