Lyrics Hourglass - The Bees

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
So 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 OK
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
So 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
I walked with you
For hours
You gently held my hand
But our love’s an hourglass
So let love be the sand
Let love be the sand
Let love be the sand (Repeat x10)
