Before You Know

Between the swing and the ball

Between the step and the fall

On a bet which risks it all

You find the end of your dreams

 

Between the smile and the blink

Between the float and the sink

Sooner than you think

This is the end of your dreams

 

Between thunder and the light

Between the growl and the bite

After the jump and before the fright

Softly comes the end of your dreams

 

Between the nod and the sleep

Between the spring and the leap

While the angels all weep

This is the end of your dreams

 

Not with a warning or sign

Not with a last chance to dine

There's no ultimate design

It's just the end of your dreams

 

This is how your dreams die

Quietly before you know it
