Hourglass Songtext
von The Killdares

When I was younger, I searched the sky for answers
Life was a dancer, looking for an escort
I took her hand and gladly she followed
The stars revealed their wanton course

And the days and the nights from my childhood
Drained through my hands so fast
Receding waves lost in the ocean
Grains of sand trapped in the hourglass


Along the road my heart grew disenchantment
Lost the childish things to become a man
Curiosity turned to security
Waves crashing castles made of sand

And the days and the nights from my childhood
Drained through my hands so fast
Receding waves lost in the ocean
Grains of sand trapped in the hourglass

Our years are small as thimbles of sand on the beach
As time rolls on the immortal door lies just beyond our beach

And the days and the nights from my childhood
Drained through my hands so fast
Receding waves lost in the ocean
Grains of sand trapped in the hourglass
