Hourglass melody 2.27.04 In a sea of golden sand I stand under a lonely tree The rain falls without dropping The sun burns the tears away Beyond the everlasting blue sky Past the silver glint of the moon A word is whispered and I hear it A word to shake the world Shivering in the cold desert I blink twice, not sure of the truth The word, unbelievable Was meant for me Shout for the evergreen turned brown Who has forgotten the magic spell A single word that could wake it The fairy word called “love” The strength of the word To turn the earth green again And I begin to believe A faith so strong I shout it back “Love!” I cry to the blue sky All was silent when Echo flew The glass broke under the pressure The sun began laughing and the rain stopped sighing The tree returned to the seed of birth in my palm The sea of golden sand fell from me I become free from the hourglass And I chased Echo to the other side Beyond the everlasting blue sky Past the silver glint of the moon “Love” the magic word; it broke my cage It found me in a frozen desert and restarted time again Love shook the world to wake us up From the dream that kept us apart I am a marionette doll The key turned and I am moving again |
