Elton John - And the Clock Goes Round lyrics
[Elton John - And the Clock Goes Round lyrics]
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 the beer canteens
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
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 the beer canteens
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
