I came down here just to waste some time To get a little rest and to ease my mind I didn't calculate it when I walked in the door I only thought I'd stay for a minute or more
First I saw the lights on the ceiling dim The stale perfume yeah, and... My first impression was to get outside But then I saw you crying, crying by the fireside
The pendulum swings Goig to and fro And the clock goes round Says it's time to go And the clock goes round And the hours fly past Slow down pendulum you're moving much too fast
Now it's gone kind of quiet but I seem to see That the only people here in the room are you and me But I don't mind girl, girl that's all right As long as you're gonna be with me, gonna be with me all night
