hourglass

None of us asked for an hourglass

What a difference a day can make

There's so much joy as we tell your folks

But this bleeding changes everything

The hospital in your hometown is slow on New Year's Day

And as I'm trying to calm us down, they're sending me away

I could not wait with you

There's a Starbucks across the street

There I will wait for you

And I'm praying so anxiously

None of us asked for an hourglass

What a difference a week can make

We're flying home, only five days late

And there's snow covering everything

We're sleeping in, we're making out, we call in sick all week

And I am trying to tie a knot on all the grief we've seen

We're sleeping in, we're making out, we call in sick all week

And I am trying to tie a knot on all the grief we've seen

Still I will wait with you

For a promise we both can see

And I will build with you

A house where our kids can sleep

And a garden where we can breathe
