about

A heartfelt ballad reflecting on the passing of time.

lyrics

The Hour Glass

A million pebbles on the beach
Washed and rolled with every tide
Fluffy clouds in the sky
Behind which the sinking sun can hide
The sinking sun can hide

Countless blades of grass
Where sheep and cattle graze
The trickle of the fine white sand
Passing the time away
Passing the time away

The sun is sinking at the end of the day
Time is passing the sand just trickles away
The hour glass has the final say

6 billion people on this earth
Each with a different game to play
Stars twinkling in the sky at night
Heralding the start of a new day
Heralding the start of a new day

Stars they shine like so many fire flies
I ask myself the question when is it time to say goodbye
The sun is sinking at the end of the day
As the time is passing the sand just trickles away
The hour glass has the final say
Sand trickles away
The hour glass has the final say
