Far across this red horizon
I am broken down tonight
I am picking up the pieces
That this storm has left behind
After all the clouds have fallen
I would reach the battered ground
Turn your darkness into light
Turn your silence into sound

But I can't cage you in my arms
And my heart is jumping forward
To avoid the false alarms
And you can't tell me not to stay
When I opened up my window
And I watched you fly away

Have you raised the final anchor
Have you cut the last sail free
Send him off into redemption
Like a funeral at sea
I will always hear you calling
You're the sway of falling leaves
Like a bird you sidle onward
And you'll know just where I'll be

And I can't cage you in my arms
And my heart is jumping forward
To avoid the false alarms
And you can't tell me not to stay
When I opened up my window
And I watched you fly away

And I can't cage you in my arms
And my heart is jumping forward
To avoid the false alarms
And you can't tell me not to stay
When I opened up my window
And I watched you fly away

I am closing up my window
Til I see a new horizon
And the quiet call of love
Will fly my way.
