lyrics

And lo, today you return my love,
Oh how the pendulum swings!
A rooster crow from a mourning dove,
Oh how the pendulum swings!

The fiery effort, the hefty hand,
Oh how the pendulum swings!
The early morning, the neighbors damned,
Oh how the pendulum swings!

Recall the ripening of the moon
That wanes to shadow in time,
You’ll swing away from me all too soon
But here for a moment you’re mine

The sun is shining upon your brow
Oh how the pendulum swings!
And where stand I to receive you now?
Oh, how the pendulum swings,
Oh, how the pendulum swings!
