I lie in sympathy
On the ground through the open door
But they never speak our hearts
Those waiting for certainty
Come around to the desert stream
But they never drink the water
And I awake to find the light
Fading from your eyes and ashes
Spilling out from the inside
And I awake to find no sound
From between your lips to the ground
Am I surprised or am I
Alarmed
Am I alarmed.
A Lantern of mystery
You walk but you never
Get another day closer to your light
I've been waiting by the phone
I've been waiting for some time
But I never know where you hide
And I awake to find the light
Fading from your eyes and ashes
Spilling out from the inside
And I awake to find no sound
From between your lips to the ground
Am I surprised or am I
Alarmed
Am I alarmed.
Am I alarmed.
And I awake to find the light
Fading from your eyes and ashes
Spilling out from the inside
And I awake to find no sound
From between your lips to the ground
Am I surprised.
