Oh, I see that lantern trimmed low burning in our home
And though I feel like crying, I swear tonight, I'll cry no more
And how many times have I prayed
That I would get lost along the way?
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Is his wallet leather? Is his wallet fat?
For not a year later it's got you lying on your back
You should have closed your windows and got another dog
You should have chained up all the doors and switched up all the locks
And how many times have I prayed
The angels would speed me away
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
And though I feel like crying, I swear tonight, I'll cry no more
And how many times have I prayed
That I would get lost along the way?
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Is his wallet leather? Is his wallet fat?
For not a year later it's got you lying on your back
You should have closed your windows and got another dog
You should have chained up all the doors and switched up all the locks
And how many times have I prayed
The angels would speed me away
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile

Random thought: I was visiting my in-laws this past weekend and I saw this clock on their living room wall with an octagonal face and swinging pendulum. On the glass, where the brass pendulum swings onward forever, was the word "Regulator". Could this be a coincidence or I did I find the actual inspiration for this song?
