about

Interestingly, this is the 5th recording of Hourglass we've ever done. It's also only the second song we ever learnt as a band, after Everywhere You Turn.

lyrics

Circling round and honest to God,
Thought I'd not a chance.
All hawk-eyed, with you in the room.
Furtive look and glance.

I had already said, if it came to a head
I'd be moving on.
Put this old love to bed.
Old love to bed.
It was high time

And you had known. You told me so,
When everything was in bloom.
I was sick at heart exploring Rome.
It came on all too soon.

Can you call it unkind? I was just being blind
To what I ought to do.
To make some sense of my mind
I take months at a time,
But not time to think it through

Sitting in my hourglass.

Using you was easy to do
Even though I didn't know.
Convenient truths. My excuse.
I was put in the role.

Can you call it unkind? I was just being blind
To what I ought to do.
To make some sense of my mind
I take months at a time,
But not time to think it through

Sitting in my hourglass.
