Squeeze - Hourglass lyrics

rate me

(Difford/Tilbrook)

I feel like I'm pounding on a big door

No one can hear me knocking

I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor

No one can catch me from falling

The hourglass has no more grains of sand

My watch has stopped no more turning hands

The crew have abandoned ship

The lights are on but no one is in

Take it to the bridge

Throw it overboard

See if it can swim

Back up to the shore

No one's in the house

Everyone is out

All the lights are on

And the blinds are down

I feel like I'm calling on a telephone

No one can hear the ringing

I feel like I'm running up a steep hill

No one can stop me from running

The hourglass has no more grains of sand

My watch has stopped no more turning hands

The little hand shakes its fist

The face is hanging out on a spring

The hourglass has no more grains of sand

Little red grains of sand

My watch has stopped no more turning hands

Little green neon hands
