The Living Room Clock Counts For Me

Paroles de « The Living Room Clock Counts For Me »

Verse: a cappella

Three-fifteen on the shelf
The clock in the living room
Counting the dark of the room
Counting the hours for two

Chorus

So I don't have to do it
The clock counts for me
The clock counts for me
Hands off the hour, let it be

Verse

The kettle is half full
The tile is cold as a spoon
The clock in the living room
Keeps at it, room after room

Chorus

So I don't have to do it
The clock counts for me
The clock counts for me
Hands off the hour, let it be

Verse

A blanket dropped on the stair
Cold coming off the pane
Cold on the arm of the chair
And the clock in the living room there

Verse

I quit at three twenty-nine
I set the counting down
Let the small brass wheel go round
The clock in the living room. Fine

Chorus

So I don't have to do it
The clock counts for me
The clock counts for me
Hands off the hour, let it be

Bridge

I wound that key on Sunday
One turn, then shut the door
So the counting I hear at four
Is my own hand, two days away

Verse

Four-oh-two on the shelf
The radiator knocks, then calms
The desk lamp holds up its dust
The clock in the living room, calm

Chorus

So I don't have to do it
The clock counts for me
The clock counts for me
Hands off the hour, let it be

Outro

The clock counts for me
The clock counts for me
Go on and count for me
Four-oh-three
