Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Out on some borderline
Some mark of in-between
I lay down golden-in-time
And woke up vanishing
Sweet bird, you are
Briefer than a falling star
All these vain promises on beauty jars, oh
Somewhere with your wings on time, you must be laughing
Behind our eyes
Calendars of our lives
Circled with compromise
Sweet bird of time and change, you must be laughing
Up on your feathers, laughing
ย
Golden in time
Cities under the sand
Power, ideals, and beauty
Fading in everyone's hand
Give me some time
I feel like I'm losing mine
Out here on this horizon line
With the earth spinning and the sky forever rushing
No one knows
They can never get that close
Guesses at most
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
