Lyrics

Sunlight, the peace is broken,
I'm awakened by its spear
Dark sight, sees only sorrows,
And corrodes '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
Or my deliverance
Black waters, carry me over,
Where every tear is a kiss of forgiveness
Black waters, hungry fathoms,
We make strange lovers

Morning, has won the duel,
Of renewal we're made to chase
Bewitching as by rule
Us to don our unblemished grace

And all the things we left unsaid,
Like fallen leaves laid dead,
'cos 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
