Lyrics
I see the sun and I see the calendar
I observe the sun and notice the passage of time on the calendar.
The days go floating by so slowly in the blur
The days seem to pass slowly and indistinctly.
I read the numbers and I discard everyone
I read numerical values and disregard each one.
I burn my fingers on the pages of the sun
I metaphorically burn my fingers while interacting with the pages of time represented by the sun.
I'll tell you why tomorrow
I will explain the reason for something tomorrow.
I'll tell you why tomorrow
Reiteration of the intention to reveal the reason tomorrow.
Moonlight pulling all the water to the beaches
Moonlight is causing the tide, influencing the water's movement toward the beaches.
Soaking time into everything that it reaches
Time is being absorbed into everything the moonlight touches.
Turn it upside-down and count the spilling sand
If you invert a timepiece, count the sand spillage, metaphorically seize the moment.
Seize the moment with a minute hand
A poetic way of suggesting to seize the moment.
I'll tell you why tomorrow
Commitment to revealing the reason for something tomorrow.
I'll tell you why tomorrow
Repetition of the commitment to explain the reason tomorrow.
Men and animals are floating through the sky
Imagery of men and animals floating in the sky, possibly a metaphor for transcending earthly concerns.
Every month or so a new one passin' by
Reference to periodic celestial events passing by.
Forming circles 'round the planets in the air
Objects forming circles around planets in the air, possibly referring to cosmic patterns.
Find a newspaper and it is printed there
Discovering information in a newspaper about these celestial events.
I'll tell you why tomorrow
Commitment to explaining the reason for something tomorrow.
I'll tell you why tomorrow
Repetition of the commitment to explain the reason tomorrow.
