Likkle Hands Onna Di Clock
**Likkle Hands onna di Clock** is a warm, gently melancholic roots reggae song about a heart that has spent too long alone, quietly ticking away while waiting for love to bring it back to life.
Using the image of an old wind-up clock, the song turns loneliness, healing and renewed hope into something wonderfully tangible. A touch, a little care and the presence of someone special may be all it takes to set those little hands moving again.
Beneath its playful “tick-tick” chorus is a tender message: even a heart marked by silence, disappointment and time can still be wound up again—and given another chance to love.

Lyrics
Mi heart sit quiet pon di shelf
Like a small clock hiding by itself
Every night it tick an it tick
But it need yuh hand fi mek it kick
Cold room, one chair, one plate
Time move slow when love too late
Mi watch di wall, mi watch di door
Still mi spirit ask fi more
Wind mi up, wind mi slow
Hold mi close, mek di feeling flow
One touch now can start di spark
One sweet move can light di dark
Likkle hands onna di clock
Tick-tick, don’t stop
Likkle hands onna di clock
Wind it up, love it nuh flop
Likkle hands onna di clock
Tick-tick, don’t stop
(oh-oh) Likkle hands onna di clock
Wind it up, love it nuh flop
Mi heart got dents, mi heart got rain
Too much silence, too much pain
But yuh name still live inna mi chest
Like a small song nah get no rest
If yuh come true, bring yuh warmth
Lay yuh palm pon mi weary storm
Spin dis sorrow, turn it round
Tek dis broken ting an’ give it sound
Wind mi up, mek mi shine
Set di seconds back in line
If yuh stay, mi know fi true
Di whole wide world can start anew
Likkle hands onna di clock
Tick-tick, don’t stop
Likkle hands onna di clock
Wind it up, love it nuh flop
Likkle hands onna di clock
Tick-tick, don’t stop
(oh-oh) Likkle hands onna di clock
Wind it up, love it nuh flop
One small turn, one soft care
See how hope come back from nowhere
If yuh love me, ease mi mind
Come and mend what time left behind
Likkle hands onna di clock
Tick-tick, don’t stop
Likkle hands onna di clock
Wind it up, love it nuh flop
Likkle hands onna di clock
Tick-tick, don’t stop
(oh-oh) Likkle hands onna di clock
Wind it up, love it nuh flop
