Hourglass Words and Music by Dave Olsen

Sand in the glass
Always falling down so fast
That you can't even stop for breath
As your life passes by
Will you show me
How to get to
A place out of reach
Of the Hands of Time

Soon as night turns to day
It turns to night
Yesterday moving out of sight
In the blink of an eye
Time is slipping
Through your fingers
And it won't wait for you to
Catch up to the moment just past

So I dream of a place
Where the bells will not sound anymore
And the clocks will stop ticking
There is no rush
Just relax a while
And look back on the things you've done

It's a race
To the finish of the course
And you're riding the fastest horse
She can't stop for you now
Will you show me
How to get to
A place out of reach
Of the Hands of Time
