Clockwork Heartbreak from Sky Serenade by Steamstruck
This one kicks off in the saloon, all gears and steam. First time you hear it, you're right there with Dusty, watching Clara waltz in. It’s more than just a lost love song; it’s about those split-second connections that wind you up tight, only to unwind just as fast. Dig deeper, and it's about how even in a world of machines, the heart still breaks in organic ways, messy and real. Hear the banjo cry out? That’s the ache of gears grinding where they shouldn’t.

Lyrics
Gears softly spun, the saloon dimly glowed
Automatons whirred, as stories flowed
Then Clara appeared, a vision in the haze
My heart skipped a beat in the smoky maze
Clockwork beauty, a moment's sweet grace (sweet grace)
Then gone like the steam in this desolate place
My heart grinds and aches, a sorrowful sound (oh)
Lost love in the gears, forever unbound
Her eyes, like bright cogs, captured my soul
A dance in the dim, lost all control
A waltz 'neath the lamps, a fleeting delight
Then the sky-train arrived in the fading light
Clockwork beauty, a moment's sweet grace (sweet grace)
Then gone like the steam in this desolate place
My heart grinds and aches, a sorrowful sound (oh)
Lost love in the gears, forever unbound
The whistle did blow, a mournful, low cry
She boarded the train, with a tearful goodbye
My gears locked in place, a painful slow spin
The heartbreak began, and settled within
Clockwork beauty, a moment's sweet grace (sweet grace)
Then gone like the steam in this desolate place
My heart grinds and aches, a sorrowful sound (oh)
Lost love in the gears, forever unbound
