| 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 runThe 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 | |
| YeahA 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 |
