Unsure Footing

Dawn

The space in the silence 
Is what I have longed for
The sound fades to nothing 
Calling me home
Collecting the hours
Counting your "gone"
Even the clock ticks they echo
Signing so long

So long... So long..
I'm waiting for dawn

Pick up the shrapnels
It pricks but you hold
Steady the wind blows
Too fast to hang on
Sails turn to curtains
And water to salt
Your clowns they've gone away now
Laughing along

So long... So long...
We're waiting for dawn

Sleep comes so certain
Swift but still slow
All this is suddenly
Taking a toll
Everything's paid for
But somehow you owe
It wont take forever
But I'll carry on.

So long... So long...
Here comes the dawn
