Hourglass

Saw you on the swings You were looking at the sky Turned around and told me There's one reason why You're the keeper of your dreams And the dreamer of your sake What do you dream of When you're not awake? I walked with you for hours You gently held my hand But our love's an hourglass Let love be the sand Let love be the sand Let love be the sand Myths and legends stay But stories fade away And a story's what it is Like what happened yesterday You said it was okay In the meadow where we lay But then you went and cried And the hourglass went dry I walked with you for hours You gently held my hand But our love's an hourglass Let love be the sand Let love be the sand Let love be the sand Then I said we'd keep in touch So I guaranteed we must Gather up the today And let it settle in the dust Just let one debt be let You're a lady I'm a gent The different ways we went Were the different ways we went And I walked with you for hours You gently held my hand But our love's an hourglass Let love be the sand Let love be the sand Let love be the sand Let love be the sand Let love be the sand Let love be the sand ...
