Roll Back The Time

by Jim Sullivan

on U.F.O. (1969)

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 trainload 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 backwards and you just don't run on
being kind

And the clock on the wall is a fine clock
Clock on the wall is a fine clock
