My Hourglass; My Departure

Seeping through my own hourglass
These are the last sands falling through
But please allow me to pass
For this is my time of departure

Seeping through my own hourglass
My last moments here are numbered
I always loved you, alas
But this is my time of departure

Flying away at early dawn
Keep me safe in thy precious heart
My last words have now been drawn
And this is my time of departure

Flying away at early dawn
Please keep my memory alive
I will be forever gone
Now is my time of departure
