Leslie Phillips - Hourglass lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:

I hear a tickingit keeps on ticking

Though it's only inside my head

The light is flickingand hell is kicking

A believer before it's dead

Chorus:

And I'm looking to the hourglass

That's running out of sand

I'm looking through the hourglass

Into another land

Verse 2:

I hear a crying of people dying

And it's taking me to the street

Intensifying a self-denying

That bringing will starve defeat

Repeat chorus

Bridge:

Time is sifting away so fast

Loving...i've got to love what lasts

'cause where you hide your treasure

You hide your heart

If you hide it in this world

You know it's gonna fall apart

Repeat chorus
