Hourglass |
| The hourglass never really runs out of sand |
| You get to the end and you just turn it upside down again |
| It’s like a book where the story never ends |
| The plot keeps turning around |
| I was dancing with my eyes closed |
| The music had me in a trance |
| Six o’clock in the morning came around |
| I was the last one at the dance |
| Boy, it takes a stiff upper lip |
| A turned-up collar and some very strong hips |
| A strong will for when the money slips |
| And they ain’t calling you a lady now |
| A sister told me some time ago |
| There’s no reward for lost sheep |
| You better learn to look sharp |
| Keep it in the lines |
| Don’t go swimming where the river’s too deep |
| But I knew all along that that just wasn’t me |
| I was swimming in the river with the ghosts and debris |
| Shouldn’t a person at least try to be free |
| Instead of giving up and just pretending to be? |
| The morning leaves you in a strange place |
| Dirty mirror and a stranger’s face |
| Nowhere to run, too late to back out of it |
| Might as well stick around and take a crack out of it |
| I heard it said many times that life is a dream |
| But it ends up dreaming of a crazy machine |
| That’s been choking out the love |
| Killing too many dreamers |
| And I just want to tear that old machine down |
| Ask me what what I would dream of in this place |
| I dream of a forest where we could all meet face-to-face |
| Where love could be love |
| And dreams could be dreamers |
| Dreamers dreaming of love and its many wonders |
| Dreamers dreaming of love, one more time now |
| Dreamers dreaming of love |
