Waiting at the Door by Elizabeth LaFavre Lyrics
Life’s a mystery
Tick tock
No time for
Hesitating
Tick tock
Knipping at our heels
Trying to steal
Our thunder
Trying to steal
Our joy
Bracing for that final war
Armageddon
Running faster
Than I ever dared before
Cause I know that Tammy
Life is in on the line
If I fall they’ll
Be no second chances
Wind chimes
Dancin’ and swayin’
With the rustling leaves
Keeping time
With the Red Robin
Building a nest
For his little one
Bracing for that final war
Armageddon
A chorus line of
Angels singing
Gregorian chants
Fill the air
Enlisting the help
Of every creaturе
In the forest
They’rе waiting
In the wings
Time to build
That arc
To save who
And what we can
A new day will dawn
A brighter day
For all to see
But first we
Face an accounting
Of all our sins
The light will
Be like dynamite
Need to shield
Your eyes
From the glory
That was foretold
That devine
Intervention
Is upon us
Don’t shudder
And shake your head
In disbelief
What did you
Think was gonna happen?
Can’t you feel it?
Tension building up
All over the world
We keep forgettin’
What we already know
We keep forgettin’
What we already know
Haunted by vague memories
Walking the
Narrow streets
Of cobblestone
Flashes of a time
Recalled
Deeply embedded
In our subconscious
Knowing all along
But not telling anyone
Not admitting it
Even to ourselves
Smacking us
In the face
Bursting splinters
As I write
Fast and furious
In my notebook
All the signs
And symbols
Clairvoyant
A story that Is both
Old and new
Quietly powerful
In its impact
Packs a punch
When we get down
To the crux of it
As we watch
The sledgehammer
Crush the wrongdoers
I raise my hands
Up to the sky
Trying to
Come up
With some alibis
My feeble attempts
To answer for myself
My confession
About to be unfurled
Gonna plant my weary legs
In a prayer-like stance
Gonna beg for mercy
Gonna look into
Those blue-green eyes
And say my goodbyes
Otherworldly winds
Of time
Gently rushing by
Burning up the
Roads less travelled
Echoes of the past
Dancing in my head
Clutch my sheets of dread
In my head
In my bed
Fearing the worst
Trembling fingers
Sweet sorrow
And regret
Arresting me
Paralyzing me
As I lay me down
In mysheets of linen
My final resting spot
But a warm golden
Glow greets me now
Enveloping me
In sweet sweet love
Sleep well
Little one
Wild horses
Racing
To the scene
They’ll join us
In that final war
They’ve already
Signed up to help
To beg for forgiveness
For all our
Delinquencies
Click clack
Bringing me back
To the place
I used to know
A day of reckoning
When children sing
Those kindergarten songs
Full of meaning
Helping us learn
Right from wrong
Thinking about
My days of glory
And shame
My fatal flaws
Swords carving me up
Cutting straight through
To the heart
Of the matter
All the mistakes
I’ve made
Getting down to
The thick of it
Arrow fired straight at me
No time for lies
Laser focused
On the truth of it
A new day will dawn
A brighter day
For all to see
But first we
Face an accounting
The light will
Be so bright
Need to shield
Your eyes
A story that
‘Twas foretold
A devine
Intervention
Keep forgetting
What we already know
Keep forgetting
What we already know
Haunted by vague memories
Of a tale we’ve
Heard before
Of the land
That we once roamed
Walking the
Narrow streets
Of cobblestone
Flashes of a time
Recalled
Deeply embedded
In our subconscious
Knowing all along
But not telling
Not admitting it’s
Even to ourselves
Smacking us
In the face
What a disgrace
Quietly powerful song
Gonna raise my hands
Up to the sky
And ask why
Trying to
Come up
With the answer
Need some alibis
Firmly plant
My weary legs
In a prayer-like stance
Gonna beg for mercy
Gonna look into
Those blue-green
Fiery eyes
Otherworldly winds
Of time
Gently rushing
In my mind
Echoes of the past
Dancing in my head
Kidnapping my mind
Clutch my sheets of dread
In my head
Linens strangling
Me in my bed
Fearing the worst
Possibly cursed
Fumbling
Mumbling
Stumbling
Sweet sorrow
And regret
Arresting me
What have I done
With the life
You gave me
Wasted
Blew it all
Up in smoke
I choked
Told my myself
Lies
Fed the scheme
That I t was okay
To settle
For money
And give up
That gift
That you
Gave me
I’m sorry
That I let you down
At least I
Realize it now
Sleep well
Little one
Wild horses
Racing
To the scene
They’ll join us
In that final war
Already enlisted
In the cause
Of begging
For forgiveness
For all our
Delinquencies
Click clack
Wild horses
Bringing me back
To the place
I used to know
My days of glory
And shame
Thinking about all
The mistakes
I’ve made
Getting down to
The thick of it
Straight at
The truth of it
Under construction…
Tick tock
No time for
Hesitating
Tick tock
Knipping at our heels
Trying to steal
