Now I'd looked at you old clock for a long time   And each glance makes a change for the worse   Cause you just keep movin' me towards tomorrow but I wish you would run in reverse   Twenty four hours ago she said that no one could ever take my place   But old clock you just proved her a liar it's as plain as the hands on your face   You never stand still for a second and every movement makes everything old   You're geared just to look at the future ah but my past has a lot more to hold   Maybe if I broke you to pieces it would stop all this pain in my mind   But I need you to break up the silence so I'll just wait until you unwind   If I could just stop your hands old clock on the wall   Turn you back to yesterday and see you one more time that's all   Then she could leave me then she could leave me
