Time's Arrow

Like sand in an hourglass
Time slips away
This fleeting melody
Will never be the same

And though we carry on
When we are on our own
At the end of the day
Our hearts turn to stone

Time's arrow is a cruel one
It's sharp and it's strong
But somehow moves slowly
Holding on far too long.

This fading memory
Can never be a song
Our footprints on the beach
Could never last that long

And though we carry on
When we are left alone
At the end of the day
Our hearts turn to stone

Time's arrow is a cruel one
With splinters and shards
That it carries through your heartstrings
And leaves behind as it moves on

If Time would stand still
If only for a day
Then maybe we could last awhile
Before we fade

But though we are holding on
We can't stay
Love never lasts this long
Before it fades away

Time's arrow is a cruel one
It pierces and scars
Taking nothing but memories
And leaving only broken hearts

Oh, Time's arrow is a cruel one
It's sharp and strong
But somehow moves slowly
Oh, at least until it's gone
