There's a yellow sun that's rising, rising in the east

but this is not like any one I think I've ever seen.

Something from infinity

is shining more than light on me...



Trapped inside this hourglass

the yellow sand is falling falling fast

Cupped inside the maker's hands

the suns goes slipping through like... yellow sand....



Days and days and days go by

and I close my eyes and I try to tell myself

that this is all a dream

Time goes by and I see the signs

and I know nobody else can live my life

nobody else but me.



Something from a distance speaks

calling to my memory...



Every minute ticking by

I'm closer to the reason why

and somehow now I understand that

time goes slipping through like...yellow sand



I've taken this ride ever since I can't remember when

but this is not like any place I think I've ever been.

One more chance is all I ask

just one more chance to turn this back around



Trapped inside this hourglass

the yellow sand is falling falling fast

Cupped inside the maker's hands

the time goes slipping through like... yellow sand....
