Hourglass

Dave Gahan Hourglass Lyrics
1.Saw Something

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

After the storm had passed
I wondered how long
The break in the clouds would last

I saw something in your eyes I'm sure
And baby I saw it
Something in your eyes
I wanted it for myself

I sit and I wait and I stare
Still wishing for divine intervention
To lift me from my chair

I saw something in your eyes I'm sure
And baby I saw it
Something in your eyes

I saw something in your eyes I'm sure
And baby I saw it
There was something in your eyes
I wanted it for myself

You and I have come so far
We've reached beyond the farthest star
Time and time and time again
I want you back
You were my friend
We can pretend

I saw something in your eyes I'm sure
And baby I saw it
Something in your eyes
I wanted it for myself


2.Kingdom

Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

Can you feel me coming.
Open the door, it's only me.
I have that desperate feeling.
Trouble is where I'm going to be.
I know you hear me knocking.
So open the door and set me free.

If there's a kingdom behind it all.
Is there a god who loves us all?
Do we believe in love at all?
I'm still pretending I'm not a fool.

So in your infinite wisdom
Show me how this life should be.
All your love and glory,
doesn't mean that much to me.

If there's a kingdom behind it all.
Is there a god who loves us all?
Do we believe in love at all?
I'm still pretending I'm not a fool.


3.Deeper and Deeper

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

I want your love
I'm gonna have you, when I want to
I'm gonna take you, that's what I like
I'm going down now
deeper and deeper
under your skin
you know that it's right

I wanna love you
I want your love

You can't tell me
that you don't want it
You know that I like it, when you put up a fight

I'm gonna have you
when I want to
I'm gonna take you
That's what I like.

I wanna love you
I want your love

I want your love
I'm gonna have you, when I want to
I'm gonna take you, that's what I like
I'm going down now
deeper and deeper
under your skin
you know that it's right.


4.21 Days

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

When are you going
To tell us it's over
How long will you keep us
Hanging on your hook
You have us all by the short and curlys
Reading us all like a book
Building a tower of fear by the river
Building it up
Build it up


Building a tower of fear by the river
Building it up
Build it up

It's been 21 days
And the tower keeps rising
21 days
That's all it took
The sun is disappearing on the horizon
You really should take a look

Building a tower of fear by the river
Building it up
Build it up

Building a tower of fear by the river
Building it up
Build it up


5.Miracles

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

I don't believe in miracles
And they happen every day
I don't believe in Jesus
But I'm praying anyway

I want to accept the truth, I really do
I believe, I'm just afraid of losing you

I read it in the paper
And I've watched them on TV
I've seen it in the movies
They say the truth will set you free

I want to accept the truth, I really do
I believe, I'm just afraid of losing you

I'm just afraid of losing you


6.Use You

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

It's killing me
To be in this room
I've got to get out
I've got to get out soon

I hurting you
With everything I do
It's too long, too long in this place

We're counting down
Only seconds now
I've got to hang on
Hang on to you

I tearing at
my cuticals
Too long too long in this place

We have eachother
you are my brother
Sitting here beside of you
I just wanna use, you. (2x)

I hurting you
With everything I do
I've got to get out
I've got to get out soon

It's killing me
To be in this room
I don't belong, belong in this place

We have eachother
you are my brother
Sitting here beside of you
I just wanna use, you. (6x)


7.Insoluble

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

I scattered pictures
On the bedroom floor
I should have told you
So many times before

I should have listened
When you were mine
It could be too late
I've already crossed the line

My angel
When you are whispering in my ear
You have nothing to fear

You have nothing to fear

You've always been here
By my side
I even felt you
When the earth began to slide

My angel
My angel

You have nothing to fear


8.Endless

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

In the cold of the full moon
On this night
Time itself it slips away
Now you are mine
Slowly hours pass
All through the night
Together we can disappear
For a while

I am still
Forever and ever and ever
Now I am still
Forever and ever and ever
Endless
Endless
Now I am still
Endless
Endless
Your body is endless

Watching the hourglass
On that night
We touched the stars
And reached the moon
For a time
I'm lost in a moment with you
It feels right
We're floating above the stars
You and I

I am still
Forever and ever and ever
Now I am still
Forever and ever and ever
Endless
Endless
Now I am still
Endless
Endless
Your body is endless


9.A Little Lie

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

That time has passed
somethings
They never really last
We've come undone
To me
You'll always be the one

Oh, calm down people (come on people)
It's just a little lie
You know it doesn't mean nothing and I realise
You could be right

I walk alone
and you know
I've never felt at home
I'm so hard to please
And I have
Everything I need

Oh, calm down people...


10.Down

Lyricist:Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott
Writer(s):Christian Eigner, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott

I need some company
I need you tonight
You don't have to talk to me
And don't be polite
Take my body and soul
I feel so old

Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down

Just lay down beside of me
You know what I like
Take what you want from me
We don't have to fight
Take my body and soul
I feel so old

Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down

And you comfort me
Until my legs go weak
Hold me closer
We won't speak

Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down

Oh we all keep falling
All down
And the world keeps turning
