No Cause For Alarm

One

Two

Three

There is no cause for alarm

Though the waves are lapping at your feet

Standing with your dog

On a braided leash

Turning your back

To the heat

There is no cause for alarm

First the applause and then the calm

'Cause you're riding a broken glass wave

Back to the shoreline

For the last time

With an elegant wave of your hand

And those homemade tattoos down your arm

Half in the sun

Half in a shadow

There is no cause for alarm

I'll leave you my tools

And all of my rules

An useless weaponry

I'll leave you my maps

And all of those wraps

My father taught to me

And I'm sure as sure can be

That two is more than one

I still don't know if the universe

Is very old or very young

With an elegant wave of your hand

And those homemade tattoos down your arm

Half in the sun

Half in a shadow

There is no cause for alarm
