Stealing Back the Time
The sheets are cold
A note is folded by the drawer
Filled with words she'll never get to hear him say
Her eyes still closed
He leaves the key beside the door
And she listens as he slips away
She imagines there's an hourglass upon the shelf
In her mind she turns it over, as if to say to herself
This is just...
One page more
In the diary of a fool
A fool whose years have all been stolen
What is time for?
They say forgiveness is divine
There's no reprieve without a crime
And she's just stealing back the time
The days grow old
The hours flow like grains of sand
'til the glass is finally broken
So hard to hold
Like drops of water through her hands
Like words once they've been spoken
She pauses for a moment, for all's been said and done
Then she waves goodbye to yesterday, 'cause when tomorrow comes
There will be...
One page more
In the diary of a fool
A fool whose years have all been stolen
What is time for?
They say forgiveness is divine
There's no reprieve without a crime
And she's just stealing back the time
What is time for?
They say forgiveness is divine
She's only human, by design
And she's just stealing back the time
A note is folded by the drawer
Filled with words she'll never get to hear him say
Her eyes still closed
He leaves the key beside the door
And she listens as he slips away
She imagines there's an hourglass upon the shelf
In her mind she turns it over, as if to say to herself
This is just...
