Leslie Phillips Hourglass
I hear a ticking, it keeps on ticking
Though it's only inside my head
The light is flicking and hell is kicking
A believer before it's dead
And I'm looking to the hourglass
That's running out of sand
I'm looking through the hourglass
Into another land
I hear a crying of people dying
And it's taking me to the street
Intensifying a self-denying
Bringing will starve defeat
And I'm looking to the hourglass
That's running out of sand
I'm looking through the hourglass
Into another land
Time is sifting away so fast
Loving
I've got to love what lasts
'Cause where have your treasure
You hide your heart?
If you hide it in this world, you know it's gonna fall apart
And I'm looking to the hourglass
That's running out of sand
I'm looking through the hourglass
Into another land
