The Tocsin

You saw her standing at the gateway With her hands in the clouds But the higher she is moving up 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 And 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 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 And 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
