False Alarms

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 know just where I'll be [2x] 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
