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 have sold me a ticket of tears for a while A train load of anger that boils up to danger in a pile And 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 All I ever wanted from you was some peace of mind But clocks don't tick backward And you just don't run on being kind And clock on the wall is a fine clock Clock on the wall is a fine clock
