Neil Michael Hagerty - Watching The Sands lyrics

Hey, Richard won't be meeting you for dinner Maria won't be burning any candles Cody will sin, went straight home again Mrs. Jenkins counts down the street They wanna stay busy and so they do Watching the sands run through Petey gave out, took a half-day And Carol is always on the move No time for Elaine to call around this morning Many tried to stay so very still They wanna do important things and so they do Watching the little balls drop through Mirror, mirror, won't you tell me All that glitters not saying very much Don't know why I can't dedicate They hear the call To carry that bad weight Nate and Tanya are staying together Before they finally had to move on Eddy says goodbye with too much feeling Sherry likes to keep it short and cold They say they're awake now and it's true They're watching the sands run through
