Hourglass - The Bees

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)
