Near the Black Forest

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
