Lyrics
(unofficial transcription)
Sunlight, the peace is broken
I'm awakened by its spear
Dark sight sees only sorrows
And groans 'til nothing's clear
Hold on, Let me think this through
I still remember you
As you were
Black waters flow in this river
Is it the end it holds beneath
All my deliverance
Black waters carry me over
Where every tear is a kiss of forgiveness
Black waters homely fathoms
We make strange lovers
Morning has won the duel
Of renewal, we're made to chase
Bewitching as by rule
Asked to don our unblemished grace
Along the things we left unsaid
Like fallen leaves laid dead
'cause you're not there
Hold on, let me think this through
I still remember you
And the way we were
Black waters flow...
Twilight, Just a token
A softly spoken symbol of peace
Go up, let nothing hold you down
No regrets, unbound
Walk on air
Black waters flow...
We make strange lovers
