As night turns into day,
You take me far away.
You offered me your hand.
The winding stars and strands
I opened up my eyes,
And to my great surprise
The world was full of light,
All shining lily white.
What is a life with you?
What's life without you too?
It seems we are astray,
Just ghosts among the gray.
And you, my shadow man,
With pockets full of sand
It's a lonesome life you lead,
Wrapped all in time and tweed
And quiet came our way,
The cracks came out to play.
And come the ticking clocks,
The mad man with the box.
