Hourglass

Does it make your heart beat fast?

Turning over hourglass after hourglass

Till they're gone

Staring at a faded map

Never stopped to clear a path

Now you're walking alone

I meant to make it before

But the making's no good anymore

I meant to make it by now

But the making's no good anyhow

Are you staying up all night

Staring at a candlelight

That flickers till the dawn?

Can you hear it coming down?

Is it just a passing sound

Or a calling of the fall?

I meant to make it before

But the making's no good anymore

I meant to make it by now

But the making's no good anyhow

You've been putting on a mask

Did you take the time to find

If the mirror knows when to lie?

I've been moving real fast

Turning over hourglass after hourglass

Till they're gone

I meant to make it before

But the making's no good anymore

I meant to make it by now

But the making's no good anyhow
