Sam Phillips - Hourgla** lyrics

Verse 1: I hear a ticking, it keeps on ticking Though it's only inside my head The light is flicking, and hell is kicking A believer before it's dead Chorus: And I'm looking to the hourgla** That's running out of sand I'm looking through the hourgla** Into another land Verse 2: I hear a crying of people dying And it's taking me to the street Intensifying a self-denying That bringing will starve defeat Repeat chorus Bridge: Time is sifting away so fast Loving...i've got to love what lasts 'cause where you hide your treasure You hide your heart If you hide it in this world You know it's gonna fall apart Repeat chorus
