Mission Bells

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe 3 a.m., I will recall the sound
Of the little ones so quiet as you turned to make your way back home
Everybody wondered, everybody here decided
Maybe if the rains had come to wash my face I’d be okay, but then
I heard the mission bells calling out your name again
I wondered what could be owing to that thought again
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe 5 a.m., a stone will fall and you
Will see the morning sun so bright as you turn to face the only star
Everybody called out, everybody held together
Maybe if the thought of you would disappear I’d be okay, but then
All I want is a shoulder to lean on me, all I need is a friend
All I want is for someone to feel like me 'cause I don’t feel like a
Friend
Could be tonight, maybe tomorrow, can I once again try and recall the
Sound
Of the universe so quiet in the autumn of our innocence
Everybody wondered, everybody understood
If only I could get to where I am for once I’d be okay, but then
