"The Clock Is On Fire" lyrics

Ah, the blue of the night
The creed of the reading stream
Blankets, pillows, curtains

Ah, the poor wedded girl
Her uniform burning and burning
The clock is on fire

The clock is on fire
Fire

Ah, washes her hair
The sink is a link to the sea that's free
Suds are soapy, [?] so

The clock is on fire

Ah, dreaming [?]
The face is a close-up, a close-up memory
Letters with feelings

Ah, the clock is on fire
Clock is on fire

Ah, the filament burns
The table is laid with a [?] gone
He enters holding the wanting

Ah, the clock is on fire
