Lyrics
Blackwater
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold you in
A sea of silence
On the borderline of truth
Open violence
I see no sign
I see no place Ive loved
Depending on the signs
To fine the road
Blackwater take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come lead me through the darkness
To the light that I long to see again
I walk with you
But sleep beside her
The summer came and went
It passes us over
I see her cry
I see the face I have loved
Depending on the blind
To find the road
Blackwater take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come lead me through the morning
For the land that I long to see again
