I built a monument to every word that's passed between us

I built a monument to stand through history

And I'll watch the hourglass the time will pass

And you'll rue the day love you ever strayed so far from me


I built a monument to make the time more easy passing

I built a monument to stand up straight and free

When all's been said and done the time will come

And it might be soon love, you'll see it more romantically


I built a monument to all we were

I built a monument to me and her

And now she's coming back

The roof is cracked and the walls are falling

As all those bitter words will flow back to the sea


I'll watch the hourglass the time will pass

And you'll rue the day love you ever strayed so far from me


I built a monument to all we were

I built a monument to me and her
