[Verse 1]
Sweeping skies and breezy greens
Can maybe show us what it means
To feel the worlds, imagination
I'll come and see you yesterday
We'll close our eyes and drift away
Can we be real without escaping?
[Chorus 1]
Twelve hours of sunset, six thousand miles
Illusions and movies, far away smiles
Twelve hours of sunset, half a day in the skies
I'll see you tomorrow as the steel crow flies
Oh, how time flies
[Verse 2]
I used to think I wasn't mad
But now I know its all I had
Can hope be lost or only seeming?
Now that time's turned into space
There's no time to check the pace
And no-one cares, except for dreaming
[Chorus 2]
Twelve hours of sunset, twilight sublime
Be with you tomorrow, backwards in time
Oh, how time flies
