Hourglass Lyrics
[Intro]
(Hourglass, hourglass)
(Hourglass, hourglass)
(Hourglass, hourglass)
(Hourglass, hourglass)
[Verse 1]
There's a shadow lying down where you used to be
And the windowpane's crying like a storm in the street
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't make it so hard
Make it easy not to behave
You know I don't wanna behave
Don't make it so hard
Make it easy not to behave
You know I don't wanna behave (Woo, ah)
[Chorus]
There's an hourglass standing on the edge of the night
When you're long gone, baby, maybe I'll say goodbye
Every moonshine, hold myself imagining too
Let the time pass, hourglass
[Post-Chorus]
(Hourglass, hourglass)
(Hourglass, hourglass)
[Verse 2]
All the photographs staring back are haunting my dreams, mmm
And the lavender's leading my love deep into sleep, eh
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't make it so hard
Make it easy not to behave
You know I don't wanna behave
Don't make it so hard
Make it easy not to behave
You know I don't wanna behave (Woo, ah)
[Chorus]
There's an hourglass standing on the edge of the night
When you're long gone, baby, maybe I'll say goodbye
Every moonshine, hold myself imagining too
Let the time pass, hourglass (Woo)
There's an hourglass standing on the edge of the night
When you're long gone, baby, maybe I'll say goodbye
Every moonshine, hold myself imagining too
Let the time pass, hourglass
[Bridge]
Shadows in the mirror
Two ships in the night
Stuck in the middle
You're moving on, you're moving on
Shadows in the mirror
Two ships in the night
Stuck in the middle
You're moving on, you're moving on
(Woo, ah)
[Chorus]
There's an hourglass standing on the edge of the night (Edge of the night)
When you're long gone, baby, maybe I'll say goodbye (I'll say goodby-y-ye)
Every moonshine, hold myself imagining too (Hold myself imagining too, a-ah)
Let the time pass, hourglass (Ah, yeah)
There's an hourglass standing on the edge of the night (Oh, yeah)
When you're long gone, baby, maybe I'll say goodbye (O-oh)
Every moonshine, hold myself imagining too
Let the time pass, hourglass (Woo, ah)
[Outro]
(Hourglass, hourglass)
Shadows in the mirror
Two ships in the night
(Hourglass, hourglass)
Stuck in the middle
You're moving on, you're moving on
(Hourglass, hourglass)
Shadows in the mirror
Two ships in the night
(Hourglass, hourglass)
