Hourglass sand runs out like the wind
Emotions from our hearts just tumble and spin
Pounding music from my bedroom
Lets it out, and lets it in...

Do you really have to go darlin?
do you really have to go all the way back home?
do you really have to go darlin?
don't you know that it'll leave me  all alone?

So she sits right at that table
you know, she puts her little hand in mine
and the tears that fill her sweet brown eyes
Say a million things her lips could never define

And one day perhaps an upturned coffee cup
will bring her here to me, if I just cannot get up
She'll take my hand and hold it for a little while
Then whisper to me sadly with her tender smile

Do you really have to go darlin?
do you really have to go all the way back home?
do you really have to go darlin?
don't you know that it'll leave me all alone?
