Pendulums - Lyrics - Sarah Harmer
Born and raised in Burlington, Ontario, Harmer gained her first exposure to the musician's lifestyle as a teenager, when her older sister Mary started taking her to Tragically Hip concerts. At the age of 17, she was invited to join a Toronto band, The Saddletramps. For three years, she juggled The Saddletramps with her studies in philosophy and women's studies at Queen's University.

We are like pendulums
Our arms swinging at our sides
And I am a good little clock
Walking along power lines
I'm thinking like a swinging door
I'm hinging on these changing thoughts
Between the pull up to the shore
And the push off
In the lines of footprints in the snow
All along the edges of the road
And I haven't even walked my block
Since I moved out here years ago
The secret lives of twist ties
The hidden story in one line
In the lines of footprints in the snow
All along the edges of the road
And I haven't even walked my block
Since I moved out here years ago
And we are like pendulums
Our arms swinging at our sides
And I am a good little clock
I'm ticking off the time, the time
The distant lights are twinkling
It means there is a wind
That blows the trees against themselves
And hard into this house I'm sleeping in
I'm sleeping in
