False Alarms

Far across this red horizon

I am walking down the line

I am picking up the pieces

That this storm has left behind

After all the clouds are fallen

I would breach the battered ground

Turn your darkness into light love

Turn your silence into sound

But I can’t cage you in my arms

When my heart is jumping forward

To avoid your false alarms

And you can’t tell me not to stay

When I opened up your window

And I watched you fly away

Have you raised the final anchor

Have you cut the lesson free

Sending off our due redemption

Like a funeral at sea

I will always hear you calling

You’re the sway of falling leaves

Like a bird you’ll spiral onward

And you just know where I’ll be

And I can’t cage you in my arms

When my heart is jumping forward

To avoid your false alarms

And you can’t tell me not to stay

When I opened up your window

And I watched you fly away

And I can’t cage you in my arms

When my heart is jumping forward

To avoid your false alarms

And you can’t tell me not to stay

When I opened up your window

And I watched you fly away

I am closing up my window

Til I see a blue horizon

And the quiet calm of love will fly my way
