Lyrics
Tick tock, tick tock, one more time around the clock
Something I took for granted
We went shopping to pick you out a birthday gift
But they were all just things
It's a landslide, landslide falling down inside my heart
Somebody do something, but I know you can't
Stay here with us just the way it's always been
Oh, you know you're going home
To the sweet smell of white roses
Rain, rain, go away, come back another day
I want to feel the sun
Now I know what they mean, it's never fair or easy
You never did any wrong
It's a landslide, landslide falling down inside my heart
Somebody do something, but I know you can't
Stay here with us just the way it's always been
Oh, you know you're going home
To the sweet smell of white roses
Oh you had a hell of a life from what I hear
But all your pain and your strife will not be in vain
You'll fly and my world's a better place 'cuz of what you gave
It's a landslide, landslide falling down inside my heart
Somebody do something, but I know you can't
Stay here with us just the way it's always been
Oh, you know you're going home
To the sweet smell of white roses
Tick tock, tick tock, one more time around the clock
Something I took for granted
