A Place For You

See it through for what it is                                       
  Don't let sentiment be anything but new                     
           Events fall hand over fist                                    
From mountains of distance with no point of view
         Between talking about and having done                      
             There will be a place for you                               
                    
        If the future should come to pass                             
Y'know, most likely, well I'll be long, long gone         
            Live suddenly then follow                                    
  Though better sense might say stay at home           
     When certainty becomes all but the rule                  
         There will be a place for you                  
        
   When you've been pushed 
                  so overdrawn, exposed 
       You would thank the stars 
                       for a place of your own         

       How with the salt in your eyes                                   
Will you see me when all of the clouds are gone         
      'May take the white noise of lies 
    To recover your poise n' your passion                        
  When certainty becomes all but the rule                   
  And inaction would be the way of a fool                    
  Between making a fuss and pressing on                   
            There will be a place for you
