Trespasser

Trespasser

(Al Stewart/Peter White)

When I first saw your trespasser

He wandered uninvited

To your door

He seemed to know his way around

Although I'd never seen

His face before

Pausing for a moment

Underneath your window ledge

He turned around

To see the shadow

Of the sundial on the hedge

There was a tightness in his face

As though he were on edge

I don't know why

CHORUS

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

But I seem to see him all the time

You said if there's a trespasser

Then there must be

A footprint or a sign

And what would he be looking for

There's nothing here

For anyone to find

And while you tried to say

It coulnd't be

I realized that you could feel

No sense of danger

ANd you din't seem surprised

I got the feeling that you

Knew more than you said

But felt advised to keep it in

CHORUS

Now I see your trespasser

Go wandering alone

Sometimes he's standing by the flowers

Or melting in the stone

And even when I cannot see him

I can feel it in my bones

That he's still there
