Intro verse 1 Mr. Small the watch-repairer man Mended clocks and watches every day He didn’t ask for much from anyone And so he worked right through both the night and day Pre-Chorus Repairing listening watching for the tiny particles of dust That busted All the watches in the town people came from miles around Chorus To see Mr. Small he’d not ask for much Lalalala lalalala verse 2 Mr. Small the watch-repairer man On his own was old enough to know That people only said good morning to him Because no other man could charge so low Pre-Chorus Repairing listening watching for the tiny particles of dust That busted All the watches in the town people came from miles around Chorus To see Mr. Small he’d not ask for much Lalalala lalalala verse 3 Mr. Small the watch-repairer man Died last Friday in his tiny room No one came to see him on Sunday As they lay him beneath the grass at noon Pre-Chorus Crying listening watching for the tiny particles of dust That busted all the watches in the town no one came from miles around Chorus To see Mr. Small he’d not ask for much Lalalala lalalala Lalalala lalalala Lalalala lalalala

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire de Mr. Small, un horloger dévoué qui réparait montres et horloges avec soin. Il semblait modeste et n'exigeait pas beaucoup en retour, ce qui faisait qu'il attirait les gens de loin à cause de ses prix très accessibles. Malgré son rôle central dans la communauté, lorsque sa vie s'est éteinte, il est mort seul, sans que personne ne vienne lui rendre hommage. Cela met en lumière à quel point il était pris pour acquis par ceux qu'il avait servis. Sa vie illustre la beauté de la générosité dans l'ombre, mais aussi la solitude qui peut accompagner un dévouement silencieux.
