Hourglass Lyrics - Satellites

Everywhere I go 

Around every corner 

On every avenue 

A million reminders 

A million scars 

Modern broken houses 

Miss-sculptured minds 

Black rivers run to dead seas 

White crosses all that is recent all that is pure 

There's a date on the papers so far away from the day it is here 

Empty champagne bottles 

Bullets for corks 

Next generation playing alone 

No mention of yesterday 

Realisation slowly chips smiles away 

So please 

Can someone tell me how to block the hole 

In the hourglass draining from your soul 

I see the hope drain from your eyes 

Everywhere I go 

Hourglasses set in concrete floors 

Reconciliation nailed to the walls 

No sign of repair 

No plans to build 

I guess there's no point in the end 

The penny dropped just as the price rose a penny again
