Saw you on the swings   You were looking at the sky   Turned around and told me   There's one reason why      You're the keeper of your dreams   And the dreamer of your sake   What do you dream of   When you're not awake?      I walked with you for hours   You gently held my hand   But our love's an hourglass   Let love be the sand   Let love be the sand   Let love be the sand      Myths and legends stay   But stories fade away   And a story's what it is   Like what happened yesterday      You said it was okay   In the meadow where we lay   But then you went and cried   And the hourglass went dry      I walked with you for hours   You gently held my hand   But our love's an hourglass   Let love be the sand   Let love be the sand   Let love be the sand      Then I said we'd keep in touch   So I guaranteed we must   Gather up the today   And let it settle in the dust      Just let one debt be let   You're a lady I'm a gent   The different ways we went   Were the different ways we went      And I walked with you for hours   You gently held my hand   But our love's an hourglass   Let love be the sand   Let love be the sand   Let love be the sand      Let love be the sand   Let love be the sand   Let love be the sand   ...
