Clannad – Hourglass

He comes out of silence and opens the door Waiting for someone to die Deep in her heart she is hoping for The long-lost one How could she know when the promise was made? So how can it end in this way? Then four gray walls come tumbling down And just because her skin was brown No wonder she has grown so fast Those four gray walls were meant to last The friends there that she can count upon Take orders, but always the spirit holds Scenes of the never-ending trend She waits for the hours and hours to pass She looks to the hourglass Then four gray walls come tumbling down And just because her skin was brown No wonder she has grown so fast Those four gray walls were meant to last Those four gray walls were meant to last As the shadows come down She sees him leaving She can recall Seems that this fire has lost its form The form of the hourglass The four gray walls came tumbling down And just because her skin was brown No wonder she has grown so fast Those four gray walls were meant to last Those four gray walls were meant to last Those four gray walls Four gray walls
