Living in a house
Near the black forest
Without any clocks
She's begun
To listen to the walls
Her neighbors have clocks
Not one
But twenty clocks apiece
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Listen to the walls
And wind your watch
Poor love, poor love
Have they caught you
By the pendulum?
Have they got you stopped?
Have you already gathered how
Living near
The black forest
She gets by
On cups of borrowed time?
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
