Hourglass
The hourglass never really runs out of sand You get to the end and you just turn it upside down again It's like a book where the story never ends The plot keeps turning around I was dancing with my eyes closed The music had me in a trance Six o'clock in the morning came around I was the last one at the dance Morning takes a stiff upper lip A turned up collar and some very strong hips A strong will for when the money slips And they ain't calling you a lady now A sister told me sometime ago There's no reward for lost sheep You'd better learn to look sharp Keep it in the lines Don't go swimming where the river's too deep But I knew all along that just wasn't me I went swimming in the river with the ghosts and debris Shouldn't a person at least try to be free Instead of giving up and just pretending to be? Morning leaves you in a strange place A dirty mirror and a stranger's face Nowhere to run Too late to back out of it Might as well stick around Letras de cancionesAnd take a crack out of it I've heard it said many times that life is a dream If it is I've been dreaming of a crazy machine That's been choking out the love Killing too many dreamers And I just wanna tear that old machine down Ask me what I would dream up in it's place Well, I'd dream of a forest where we could all meet face to face Where love could be love Dreams could be dreamers Dreamers dreaming of love And it's many wonders Dreamers dreaming of love From Letras Mania
