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...
