lyrics

v.1
I'll tell you a story about a little girl
Who wanted to go out and conquer the world
But the world was more scary than she had once thought
With villains determined to thicken the plot
But she was the hero, she knew she'd last
Through every turn of the page and drip of the hourglass

c.
Oh, and she grows

v.2
When real life hit hard, she turned to books
Where the greatest dangers were pirates with hooks
But she found herself trapped in the mermaid lagoon
And friends turned to sirens with deadly perfume
But she was the hero, she knew she'd last
Through every turn of the page and drip of the hourglass

c.
Oh, and she grows

b.
But growing up is hard
When you don't know when you'll stop
She looked up at the stars
And wished with every drop

v.3
In time, she discovered there is a way
To survive in the world with a heart full of play
Cuz it's not as scary as she had once thought
Even though villains can thicken the plot
They are just people who sadly forget
Their inner child hasn't disappeared yet

c.2
Oh, and I grow

I'm no hero, but I think I'll last
Through every turn of the page
And drip of the hourglass

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather

supported by 6 fans who also own “Hourglass”

A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource

The Time-Turner EP
by The Mudbloods

supported by 4 fans who also own “Hourglass”

This is a gorgeously mature EP that pulls at the heartstrings in a way I didn't expect from wrock about Cursed Child. In it, you'll find two tender ballads from fathers to sons, a catchy celebration of a world gone wrong, an upbeat jam about teenage love and two touching love songs from husband to wife. Every single song is deftly crafted and has the exquisite lyrics from the Mudbloods that I just love. yourwizardrockresource
