Lyrics

Just Your Hourglass
(by Bruce Greenwood, Eric Erdman)

Way back when they melted glass
To catch the elusive hour
That gentle figure softly cast
Then cooled to control its power

and there it stood from that day on
just the way they'd planned
time as a possession
in the palm of their hand

that was how you shaped my heart
when it was young and warm
and only now I understand
the flaw built into the form

( Love and devotion)
I poured in all I had
in a dream and never knowing
I was just your hourglass
I was just a way of marking time
Never meant to last
a moments stop along the line
just your hourglass

I can't deny that I was willing
to be led into the fire
that your caresses were fulfilling
as I left myself behind

and in the flames
i was lost
bent to your design
just to be forever yours when you were never mine

but now i know you shaped my heart
when it was young and warm
Everything was mystery
and it felt like coming home

( Love and devotion)
I poured in all I had
in a dream and never knowing
I was just your hourglass
I was just a way of marking time
Never meant to last
a moments stop along the line
just your hourglass
