Strawbs - 'Til The Sun Comes Shining Through lyrics

My love is as the rose As wild and free as I should wish to be Close guarded by the thorns That shield her from the hands that seek to touch The hourgla** sand that runs so free Is rock that failed to halt the waves of time My haven is the harbour bar Sheltering from the storm 'Til the sun comes shining through, again My love a primrose fair A gentle hedgerow flower in the spring If gathered in the dawn Come evening she will surely fade and die The hourgla** sand... My love is as a pearl A heart of stone that I can never own More precious than my life Thus meaning more than I can ever give The hourgla** sand...
