lyrics

I saw you in my mind when I was younger
Then I grew older and I saw you still
You’d stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
When I was weary trouble would come

In my last defence you tried to warn me
I did not know you, you were a demon to me
Your presence it was a fear that lived inside me
It grew around me then you would appear

Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see

I was dead and I was dying at your doorway
I did not see you, you did not appear
Between the years I might have come to know you
But I don’t own you that much is clear

Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see

I was afraid someday you’d return
Unchanged at my door as you’d once been before
A threader of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the of the darkness and into my room

I was afraid someday you’d return
Unchanged at my door as you’d once been before
A threader of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the of the darkness
