I asked a distant star, "I wonder where you are"
The shadow at my door, a friend who is no more
I watched him go to the wind
I closed my eyes, goodbye, goodbye my friend
Friends and family, the branches of the tree
Sheltered in the rain, telling me again
"No matter how the raindrops run
The world will turn, turn back to the sun"
Yeah, yeah
A trick of light upon our eyes
A trick of time upon our lives
Ancient songs cry out to you
Surely this sweet sand is slipping through
I watched him go to the wind
I closed my eyes, goodbye, goodbye my friend
Yeah
A trick of light upon our eyes
A trick of time upon our lives
Ancient songs cry out to you
Surely this sweet sand is slipping through
Slipping through the glass of time
Slipping through the glass
Surely this sweet sand will run out by and by
And while the days come down to you
While the days come down
You are just a traveler passing through
Ooh, yeah, yeah
