Songteksten L J Booth Big Hourglass songtekst:
I remember back in college
It was sometime in the fall
I was walking by a Maple tree
Flaming red and tall
And as I passed beneath it
One leaf out of that flame
Fell right into my breast pocket
And I haven't been the same
It was like the whole world
Was a big hourglass
cn!c fmbirg !!f,
Top is like the future, bottom like the past
And at that narrow middle part
Where only one grain can pass
Is the ever-living moment
And I want to understand
That simple grain of sand
It was somewhere in Nebraska
We'd been driving quite awhile
When I glanced over at my daughter
She had this very special smile
It had this extra little wrinkle
Like my grandma's used to do
And for a moment it was real hard
To tell the difference 'tween the two
It was like my family
Was a big hourglass
cn!c fmbirg !!f,
My daughter, like the future
Grandma, like the past
And at that little moment
Where only one smile can pass
The two were joined together
And I want to understand
This simple grain of sand
Spring is coming on here
There's moisture in the breeze
The river is running higher
Buds are popping in the trees
So I picked up my guitar today
I didn't really have a plan
And this song just kind of jumped right out
Buds were popping in my hands
And it's like the whole world
Is a big hourglass
cn!c fmbirg !!f,
Top is like the future, bottom like the past
And at that narrow middle part
Where only one grain can pass
Is the ever-living moment
And I want to understand
That simple grain of sand
Like my daughters's smile
Like that Maple leaf
I will give to you this moment
Because it's my belief
That the middle of the hourglass
Is this place where I now stand
So I'll do my best to sing
And try to understand
This simple grain of sand | | |
