This song was based on the following emails... and, the emotions involved with being separated from someone (in time.)
dear aiax,
are ya sleepin' tight this time o' night?
Sincerely,

KingArthur.com,
Take a look at your program "date/time" on your computer --
Moscow (+3.00 hrs GMT)
London (0.00 GMT)
Your East Coast time (-5.00 hrs GMT)
Total calculation gives us correction of -8.00 hrs.
You should add 8 hours to your local time, and you'll get my local time. By the way if you cross 180 degrees Meridian from east to west you should deduct one day (if it's 21.02. after crossing will be 20.02.) from west to east vice versa.
Now it's 10.00 a.m. here... in Philadelphia 02.00 a.m.
Got it !?
Good night! Have a beautiful color dreams.
Aiax
For people in a far away land...
I can hear it!
Are you sleeping tight,
(What's your date & time?)
If you can tell me your coordinates,
Do you know the date,
Are you sleeping tight,
Crossing the horizon,
Along the meridian,
Turn the clock back,
Are you sleeping tight,
For people in a far away place...
At least, in their body.
But, what about their spirit?
This time of night?
I'll lock in mine.
Or, the time?
Tell me the coordinates,
I'll lock in mine.
This time of night?
Do you know the date,
Or, the time?
Tell me your coordinates,
I'll lock in mine.
From East to West,
After crossing along the meridian,
At 180 degrees,
The time will freeze,
From East to West,
That line will be best,
Cause you get to deduct...
One day,
Like some sort-of bonus pay.
Get to think it through,
Again.
Get to start over,
This time knowing where to begin.
This time of night?
What's your date/time,
Tell me your coordinates,
I'll lock in mine.
