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 hourgla**
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 hourgla**
The yellow sand is falling falling fast
Cupped inside the maker's hands
The time goes slipping through like... yellow sand...
