Текст песни SAVATAGE - The Hourglass

Standing alone by the edge of a riverHe's traded his life for a glass full of tearsThe bargain was quick for one's life is less dearerWhen the sand's running out and the ending is nearThe ending is nearThe ending is near( )The ending is...The man climbed aboard and set sail for the oceanHe put on the mast all the canvas she'd takeThen laid himself down on the deck neath the tillerThe ship was his coffin this moment his wakeRunaway reasonsRunaway seasonsTime is a treasonThat I give back to you nowThe wind touched the sail and the shipMoved the oceanThe wind from the storm set the course she would takeFrom a journey to nowhere towards a soul on the oceanFrom the wake of Magellan to Magellan's wakeRunaway reasonsRunaway seasonsEverything in itHours and minutesYou take tomorrowBecause it means nothingTo meTo meTo...In the dark he heard a whisperAsking him to understandIn the desert look for waterOn the ocean look for landIn the dark he heard a whisperAsking him to understandIn the desert look for waterOn the ocean look for landAnd there in the wavesWas a man in his graveThat he saw in the night'Tween the flashes of lightAnd heCould not be thereAnd all he had prayedOr had given awayHe now found to be wrongIn the grip of the stormAnd heCould not be thereCould you keep our lives togetherSafely back onto the shoreCould you grant this last illusionOnly this and nothing moreCould you keep our lives togetherSafely back onto the shoreCould you grant this last illusionOnly this and nothing moreAnd all at once the heavens bled their fireThe anchor broke the chains they flew awayAnd suddenly the waves were reaching higherAnd in the dark I thought I heard them sayCould you keep our lives togetherSafely back onto the shoreCould you grant this last illusionOnly this and nothing moreBut what the sailor did not knowAnd would never learnWas on that beach now far awayThe young child had returnedAnd finding the broken hourglassHe reset it uprightThen placed sand from the beach insideAnd placed the lid on tightThen examining his handiworkHe left it in the sandAnd then he quickly ran back homeThinking god would understandEverything I ever had for one more tomorrowEverything I ever had for just one more nightAnd if this is not to be I pray could I borrowJust another final hour onto my lifeDid you ever really want toDid you ever really want toLord, tell me how it will beLord, tell me how it will beStanding once more by a boat on a riverHe pushes it off while he stays on the landAnd seeing the hourglass now so much clearerWhich someone had refilled by handAnd somewhere that boat's now adrift on theOceanThe mast at full sail and there's no one on boardThe hourglass no longer sits by the oceanOnly his footprints all alone on the shoreAnd soon they're no moreNo moreNo moreNow our story's nearly overAnd we've reached the final sceneBut we're sure that some have wonderedWhat had happened in-betweenFrom the moment when the boy was savedAnd their boat had reached the shoreWell, they talked about life and deathAnd perhaps a little moreThe boy said he'd been a stowawayAboard the "maersk dubai"When the captain had him thrown to the seaAnd left him there to dieAt this the old sailor had stood upHis face now filled with rageAnd swore that he would never restUntil that captain had been cagedBut the boy implored the sailorThat he not say a wordBecause he was an illegal immigrantAnd as of recently he'd heardThat going to the authoritiesCould often be unwiseWhen one's paper were illegalThe police just might not sympathizeSo when they reached the harborWith their journey at an endHe left the boy on another shipWhose captain was a friendAnd when he saw it pull to seaAnd was once more all aloneHe leaned against the tillerAnd turned his ship back homeEventually he reached that beachHe'd left the night beforeThen stepped a last time from the boatAnd waded to the shoreThen the old man picked the glass upThat he had left behindAnd headed for the small cafeFor it was nearly timeAnd the ocean watched him leavingTo find his lady fairAnd as he left he heard her last wordsDrifting in the airThat every man
