Hourglass Blues Lyrics

The hours slide away like nothing, I count until I die

When the year's gone by, I just count until I die

In my last phase I'd say

Boy, you'd only waste away your life

Wrote a song about age 23

Already asked

Am I the man I should be

I can tell the sand is slipping through, the bottom's getting filled

Decline is on the corner, then in the morgue I'll be chilled

Younglings now got to grow old

Threw away my sunny dreams

You'll hear me say when I go cold
