The Hours Lyrics

The Hours

verse as I shower and shave night is growing old as I recount my days you simply count and coldly mark time

this performance in fact last, and sweetly in vain so human, dressed and packed let me entertain you one more time

chorus you watch it turn from dark to dawn you don't seem to need much sleep you're unconcerned day is breaking like a wave and the water's much too deep





more faithful still than God or man quietly you're clocking me ordained to fill a baneful hourglass without pause and without grief
if Heaven can wait talk to Fate give me just one more day as you attend won't you please won't you bend won't you stay this breach this gold to airy thinness beat

you watch it turn from dark to dawn eyes and lips and hands I forsake you will endure long after we are gone and these hearts and this wave will break
