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 doorI only thought I'd stay for a minute or more

First I saw the lights on the ceiling dim

The stale perfume, yeah, and the beer can tins

My first impression was to get outside

But then I saw you crying, crying by the fireside

The pendulum swings, going 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

The pendulum swings, going 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

The pendulum swings, going to and fro

And the clock goes round, says it′s time to go

And the clock goes round, and the hours fly past
