THE TOCSIN
You saw her standing
at the gateway with
her hands in her 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
