Maybe Later

You said "hey, it's about to happen,
it could be right now or maybe later"
I never knew just what you meant
forgive me, I've already been here too long
and my faith is all used up

You said "don't go, wait a little longer,
this shroud is slipping and I'm about to discover...
where the treasure is hidden"
I never knew just what you meant
I swept the cobwebs from the room
the hands on the clock moving backward

You wonder where the time has gone
your time is now and you're ready to begin
feel the depth of empty shadow
breathe the freshness of mountain air
the time has come but I'm not there
