Athenaeum - Hourglass lyrics

Nighttime crashes down on me

I lost everything, I failed miserably.

All these things I can't complete

They encompass me, they bark at my feet.

And the days go by without warning or reply

and these moments pass me by endlessly.

If I live for a hundred years

I'll still want you here

I'll still need you, dear.

Let me whisper in your ear

Let me love you now before we disappear.

And if these things pass I would break the hourglass

Just to make the moment last for you.

oh and if i had one wish, i would take us both from this

to a place where only you and i exist.

oh oh oh, oh oh la la la

oh la la la

oh la la la da la

oh la la la

oh la la la da la

And if these things pass I would break the hourglass

just to make the moment last for you.

oh, and if i had one wish i would take us both from this

to a place where only you and I exist.

to a place where only you and i exist.

But this life crashes down on me

if i lose you this time then i lose everything

and one day, when my ship comes in

I'll miss you my darling

you were my best friend.

I'll miss you my darling

you were my best friend.
