Mary had a little clock
that works in its own way, just another afternoon in May
Children playing birds
were singing postmen said hello,
What if Mary wasnt late that day

Johnny was a lonely man
who has not much to say
Hes now on the roof to say goodbye
He was so in love with
Mary when she was engaged,
Sadly he was not her fiance

So God I ask why today,
are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray?
Is that how you work your way?
Now Im so afraid
To some it was one fine
day, to them the very end of life well thats their fate
So thats how people come and go
Whats gonna happen no one knows

Johnny took a breath
and quietly he jumped off the roof
What if Mary wasnt late that day

So God I ask why today,
are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray?
Is that how you work your own way?
Now Im so afraid
To some it was one fine
day, to them the very end of life well thats their fate
So thats how people come and go
Whats gonna happen no one knows
So God I ask why today,
well she had everything she dreamt of yesterday
But now the happiness subside
Will she rest in peace
in her own grave?
Bout him I dare not say,
he landed on her head and broke her neck they say.
So thats how tragic life can be
Too bad that many still dont see

Mary had a little clock
that works in its own way
Yet she never has another day
