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
