I can hear the sound of tomorrow approaching
It starts as a tremor in the earth
That soon becomes a rumbling in my bones

As I lie here on the ground
The stars begin to shake
I close my eyes so they'll not fall from the sky

My fingers grasp handfuls of grass
For in the spinning darkness
Earth threatens to let me go

The last grains of sand have fallen
Upon my face light has grown bright
Though it does not hail the end of night

Within the silence that exists between heartbeats
I wonder if this was the right thing to do
For as the trio of lights become an inseparable sun

I realize I can think only of you
But too late
I'm tied to this fate

The stars have stopped shaking
Tomorrow is no longer approaching
And the midnight train rolls through
