Performed by
Vanessa DaouNear the Black Forest Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Living in a house near the Black Forest
Without any clocks she's begun
To listen to the walls her neighbours have clocks
Not one but twenty clocks apiece
[Chorus]
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
[Verse 2]
Listen to the walls, wind your watch
Poor love, poor love, have they caught you
By the pendulum? Have they got you stopped?
Have you already gathered how
Living near the Black Forest
She gets by on cups of borrowed time
[Chorus]
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
[Chorus]
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
Near the black, black forest
