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...
