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
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
