Hourglass by Jorn Lyrics

I have travelled all across the ocean
I have seen what there is to see
Been living my life in the fast lane
Now this heart has been torn from me

It's getting colder and I'm slowly dying
I should have told her, and now it's too late

Answer to the hourglass
No escape from the world of the lonely
There's a fire burning deep inside
The soul of the lost soldier

There's been so many women
The smell of sweet perfume
And I'm still searching for a hand to hold
Love has been a stranger to me
And I'm still trying to find the key

When the night draws near
I am slowly rising and the moon is bright
As the city lights grow dim
I'm running wild in a sea of dreams
We all answer to the hourglass
No escape in the world of the lonely
Feel the fire burning deep inside
The soul of the lost soldier
And I'm still trying hard...

And the night is clear
I am slowly rising
Running wild as the wolves are crying
I'm getting older... Soon it's to late...

[Chorus]
Hey stranger I know you
We are the same we two
We'll walk this road together
We'll ride he winds of never
In the fire we remain not knowing what we gain
And when this nightmare's over our lives begin anew
