Devil & the Hourglass - Nathan Fox

The devil walked in this morning

With a contract in her hand

She wore a dress that flowed like water

And held an hourglass filled with sand

She said to me one of these

Days you gonna be an old lonely man

But if you give yourself to me

I’d like to give you a hand

Her hair was black as midnight

And her eyes were steely cold

Her touch set me on fire

But now she won’t let me go

Today marks the day that I finally learn

I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned

As she unrolled her wicked scroll

A chill swept down my spine

But «don't you fret» is what she said

And then she flipped that glass and smiled

I’ll give you till that sand has settled still

For you to make your mind

Now just give yourself to me

And everything is gonna be fine

Her hair was black as midnight

And her eyes were steely cold

Her touch set me on fire

But now she won’t let me go

Today marks the day that I finally learn

I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned

As we got dressed back in sunday best

The last grain hit the pile

I’m sorry babe though it’s been great

I ain’t gonna sign

She stabbed into my heart her devil eyes

And whispered «baby that’s fine»

But you just gave yourself to me

Hahaha.

Well your already mine

Her hair was black as midnight

And her eyes were steely cold

Her touch set me on fire

But now she won’t let me go

Today marks the day that I finally learn

I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned
