Hourglass

He comes out of silence and opens the door



Waiting for someone to die



Deep in her heart she is hoping for



The long-lost one



How could she know when the promise was made?



So how can it end in this way?



Then four gray walls come tumbling down



And just because her skin was brown



No wonder she has grown so fast



Those four gray walls were meant to last



The friends there that she can count upon



Take orders, but always the spirit holds



Scenes of the never-ending trend



She waits for the hours and hours to pass



She looks to the hourglass



Then four gray walls come tumbling down



And just because her skin was brown



No wonder she has grown so fast



Those four gray walls were meant to last



Those four gray walls were meant to last



As the shadows come down



She sees him leaving



She can recall



Seems that this fire has lost its form



The form of the hourglass



The four gray walls came tumbling down



And just because her skin was brown



No wonder she has grown so fast



Those four gray walls were meant to last



Those four gray walls were meant to last



Those four gray walls



Four gray walls
