A Whisper Songtext

von Kayak

On the edge of night
Still drowned in darkness
Hours before the morning
Moments before the first frail rays of light
Creepin' inside my sleepy harness
Reality is dawning
Over the hills where the lonely spirits hide
I'm stranded ashore, the sea withdrawing
Left on the slopes while mountains are thawing
Deeds come undone, and words unspoken
Lying here still, the chains will be broken
Cautiously trying to find my way
Through the cold mist that slowly forms
Light as a breeze comes another day
Reducing the raging storms
To a whisper
Time comes and goes
As fears and wishes
Move to the world of shadows
Still they remain, only waiting in repose
Ambushing those
Deemed unsuspicious
Aiming their bow and arrows
Straight at the heart where the wind of yearning blows
I'm facing a crowd but standing naked
Hopelessly late, and still running to make it
Always afraid of the man behind me
Searching the trough that may finally blind me
Cautiously trying to find my way
Through the cold mist that slowly forms
Time's shifting gear to another day
Reducing the raging storms
To a whisper
