any chance...

any chance you heard the siren?
it was loud..
but it was clear..
coming from somewhere in the distance.
still a thrill that you
might hear.

i waited quietly
behind you.
not a wisper..
not a breath..
when i made it up beside you..
i think you had
nothing left.

there's a tune.
i heard i heard it playing...
echoes softly
in my mind..
so distant words.
someone saying..
you'd be leaving me
behind.

i tried to battle
with the silence.
make clear the noises
in my head.
but in the moring
when i wake up..
i'll wish again
i dreamed
instead.

i hope the songs up there
are clearer.
i hope their tunes
might
make you dance.
i hope you perch
upon the instrument..
that in death
gives life
a chance.

tell me please that
you hear beauty..
tell me please that
it's all kind.
tell me out there
in the moon light
there's a twinkle
in your eyes.

any chance you heard the siren?
any chance you saw the signs?
any chance that they're all stars now...
any chance your hopes are fine...
