Lyrics
The Clock
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The clock upon the wall tells me it's time to go
But I don't want to know
But the clock on the wall
Well friends will talk, my friends will talk
They all will talk
But I don't give a damn
About all their small talk
I just care for you
And there's nothing, nothing anyone can do
Tick tock around the clock
The hands won't stop
But I don't care
I don't care at all
I just care for you
And there's nothing, nothing anyone can do
The hands keep going all the time
And I keep wishing you were mine
Where would and if and what and why
And where we've been
And what went on
I can stay too long
I just care for you
And there's nothing, nothing anyone can do
