Oh, the clock on the wall is a fine clock Chasing the minutes in a climb And the clock on the wall is a fine clock; Why can't I just roll back the time? Why can't I just roll back the time? Sweet Mary, I thought you'd been faithful and true I guess not You gave me the business while I sat there grinning; Thanks a lot! And you haven't sold me a ticket of tears for a while A trainload of anger that boils up to danger in a pile And the clock on the wall is a fine clock Chasing in the minutes in a climb And the clock on the wall is a fine clock; Why can't I just roll back the time? Why can't I just roll back the time? All I ever wanted from you was some peace of mind But clocks don't tick backwards And you just don't know of being kind And the clock on the wall is a fine clock Clock on the wall is a fine clock...
