Clock Hands

I know the Back Harlow Road!

It comes to a dead end by the Royal river

The traintracks are right there!

Even my dad used to fish for cossies out there!

Jesus Christ, man

If they would have known you were under the door they would have killed you

Could he have gotten all the way from Chamberlain to Harlow? It's really far!

Sure, he must have started walking on the traintracks and just followed them the whole way

I put everything behind me

I′ve been sleeping under pine trees

Nothing for me on the old roads

Giving back the time I borrowed

I put everything behind me

I′ve been sleeping under pine trees

Nothing for me on the old roads

Giving back the time I borrowed

I'm never gonna get out of this town, am I, Gordie?

You can do anything you want, man

Yeah, sure

December comes, I've been here before

The sun sets at four, I just lie on the floor

I know this will end, but when will it end?

I don′t give a fuck and I will not pretend

That I'm not still scared of the clock's hands

I'll use our time while I still can

And lately sleep's been hard to come by

Nothing else to do so I stare at the sky and

Stay up 'til five, watch the sun rise

I saw the soul inside leave from your eyes

Did you even try?

Did you even try?

I put everything behind me

I′ve been sleeping under pine trees

Nothing for me on the old roads

Giving back the time I borrowed

I put everything behind me

I′ve been sleeping under pine trees

Nothing for me on the old roads

Giving back the time I borrowed

I'll see you

Not if I see you first
