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 have fallen

I would breach the battle ground

Turn your darkness into the light

Turn your silence into sound



(Chorus 1)

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 the window

And I watched you fly away



Have you raised the final anchor?

Have you cut the mast-sail free?

Sending offer to 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'll know just where I'll be



(Chorus 2)

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 the window

And I watched you fly away



(Repeat chorus 2)



And I am closing up my window

'till I see a blue horizon

And the quiet call of love will fly my way
