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 can'teens

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.
