Clock Patience
I'm not clever at clock patience
It never comes out

I'm waiting for the minute hand to travel six degrees
And strike another minute from this cell of little ease
There goes the cheeky Jack of Spades who goes beside the ten
What is that noise upon the door
It isn't you. It isn't you again

Clock Patience
I've never had clock patience
I'm hoping you'll come

I don't see what this four is for and what about this nine
Nothing seems to go, I'll have another glass of wine
Another twenty minutes and I hear a car go past
And did it stop? No it did not
It isn't you. It isn't you at last

Oh what am I waiting for? Ace, Queen or Jack
Fly, fly, flutter to the floor. There is no turning back
There is no turning back the clock
Patience, I'm not playing at Clock Patience any more
