[Verse 1]
Memories flicker day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute
Every second passing by is like a lifetime without you in it
Yesteryear when you were mine, our love breezed by in a twinkled eye
A blink between our first hello and our last goodbye
[Chorus]
Slowly sifting through my hands, falling like grains of sand
The hourglass of our past is finally empty
And there ain't no way of knowing where all this time's a-going
Sifting away, somewhere between a flickering dream and fading memories
[Verse 2]
Remеmber when we wеre lying in bed at night, your hand in mine?
Laughing through the rain and lightning that took out all the power lines
When worries of a simple kind and easy times weren't hard to find
Forgiving and forgetting you was never on my mind
[Chorus]
Slowly sifting through my hands, falling like grains of sand
The hourglass of our past is finally empty
And there ain't no way of knowing where all this time's a-going
Sifting away, somewhere between a flickering dream and fading memories
[Outro]
A flickering, fading dream
