The Hourglass

The hourglass.
Slowly let slip the grains of time.
But hopes and wishes.
Are all that time can fill.

Pain and sorrow follow the path.
Of the long and lonesome road.
A few smiles here and there.
Help to lighten the load.

That same old face,
in these same old dreams.
The trust in your smile,
forever gleams.

Comfort from you heart.
Clears the cloudy skies.
Just like the love,
in your earth brown eyes.

It is time.
To turn the hourglass,
over again.
I've been here all day.
And evening has reached,
it's end.

This phone will never ring.
Your voice it will never bring.
the hours come and pass,
with lonely me and ...
the hourglass.
