Black Water Visitor

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came through the rain On the bridge by the canal Black coat, wet sleeves Standing too still for a man My breath went thin When you said my name Like you knew the shape Of the scars I hide away [Pre-Chorus] You held out a hand With moonlight on your skin Cold as the river Warm as a sin And I swear the air Leaned in to listen The dogs went silent The windows glistened [Chorus] Who are you? What do you want? You looked right through me Then you were gone Who are you? Stay if you dare I saw the afterlife In your stare [Verse 2] You left no tracks On the soaked-up stone Only a ring of frost Around my phone The church bell rang Though the town was dead And every red light Turned a shade of red I ran back home With your voice in my ear Not a warning Not quite fear [Pre-Chorus] You held out a hand With moonlight on your skin Cold as the river Warm as a sin And I swear the air Leaned in to listen The dogs went silent The windows glistened [Chorus] Who are you? What do you want? You looked right through me Then you were gone Who are you? Stay if you dare I saw the afterlife In your stare [Bridge] At the edge of sleep You were there again By the blackened water By the rusted fence You touched my wrist And the room went white Then I woke with ash On my tongue that night [Chorus] Who are you? What do you want? You looked right through me Then you were gone Who are you? Stay if you dare I saw the afterlife In your stare
