Title Track

Asleep I lay

into the morn

I shouldn’t have to beg

for an hour more

The girl is gone

I feel deep pain

I shouldn’t have to crave

for an hour more

I work and write

I avoid the light

constantly feeling I have

but an hour more

No longer chasing happiness

just relief for emptiness

searched the beaches and bottles

for an hour more

One day we realize

time is not on our side

no one ever gets

even an hour more

You can plead or pray

you can work or play

all things you get nothing for

not an hour more

We can ask

we can scour

when will I

get an hour more

Early I wake

not to find

because I cannot

have an hour more

Pain is relieved

as it all approaches

the blissful end

just an hour more

Upon a death

comes the wisdom

that every hour

is an hour more

One day we realize

what needs to be done

if all we had

was an hour more

I work and write

because I have

nothing at all

but an hour more

Everyday I try

to get a little better

I swear I could

with an hour more

No passion remains

unable to cry

not even in a plea

for an hour more

No passion remains

unwilling to shout

not even in a dream

of an hour more

To be lost in wild roses

would hurt like hell

for its beauty I would try

in an hour more

I stand still

running in the rain

anything is possible

with an hour more

The girl is gone

I am still in love

somehow I found my peace

without an hour more

Everyday I try

to get a little better

it takes my whole day

not an hour more

Suddenly, I’ve found

I am on my way

without ever being given

just an hour more
