The Hourglass - Flatfoot 56

Hey… Hey…

I’m sitting in the cell of this hourglass

My time slips away, stolen too fast

Everyday, everyday I’m breathing it in

The pressure of my life, the pressure within

Saying working hard is all I know

But the weight of this sand is making me slow

If I think of all the time I’ve lost

Then the taxman won and I pay the cost

Give me time, give me time

'Cause I’m stuck in this world’s hourglass

Give me time, give me time

This sand is flowing too fast

Hey… Hey…

I’m sitting as the world around me is calling my name

Every single second, attacking my brain

Give me time, she says with a wink in her eye

All I want is your youth;

that old spark inside.

Then wisdom says, Cherish your days

Worry only lets your time slip away

Push away the thief trying to steal your gift

The fighter is the one whose feet are swift.

Give me time, give me time

'Cause I’m stuck in this world’s hourglass

Give me time, give me time

This sand is flowing too fast

Woh woh oho.

Woh woh ohoho

Give me time, give me time

'Cause I’m stuck in this world’s hourglass

Hey… Hey…

Give me time, give me time.

All I want is time

Give me time, give me time.

All I need is time

Give me time, give me time

'Cause I’m stuck in this world’s hourglass

Give me time, give me time

This sand is flowing too fast

Wouh woh oho.

Wouh woh ohoho

Give me time, give me time

'Cause I’m stuck in this world’s hourglass

Wouh woh oho.

Wouh woh ohoho

Give me time, give me time

'Cause I’m stuck in this world’s hourglass

Hey… Hey…
