The Tocsin

You saw her standing at the gateway with
her hands in the clouds,
but the higher she is moving the more it gets you down.
And she’s waiting in the afterglow with her eyes somewhere else.
It’s like she says: “Don’t let it worry you”.

Was it just a warning? Someday you might awake.
Maybe all inside of you is not enough for what you take.
Was it just a warning? Someday you might awake and maybe
all inside of you maybe you’ll fail.

Somewhere out where you are standing still and shovel dust in the
wind, someone told you’d better wait until the rain will begin.
Maybe it’s time for reflections and the night endless long
gives you chance enough to make believe it’s going on.

Was it just a warning? Someday you might awake.
Maybe all inside of you is not enough for what you take.
Was it just a warning? Someday you might awake and maybe
all inside of you maybe you’ll fail.
