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...
