Premonitions

Lyrics

There's a shadow on the grass That was never there before And the ripples as they pass Whisper of an unseen oar; And the song we knew by rote Seems to falter in the throat A footfall, scarcely noted Lingers near the open door Omens that were once but jest Now are messengers of Fate; And the blessing held the best Cometh not or comes too latе Yet what ever lifе may lack Not a blown leaf beckons back Forward! Forward! is the summons Forward! Where new horizons wait
