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.
