Black Water

[Verse 1] You live by a mantra that describes you well Be curious not judgemental I don't know why I suddenly remembered that Our encounter such a pleasant memory You're easy to talk to and hard to forget And, no, I still haven't been to the Scottish meadows [Verse 2] You know that dream? It still keeps coming back to me I stand by a lake pitch black in the full moon The forest mirrors perfectly on the still surface So still is the water, you can see every detail, every texture So undisturbed that whеn I enter it's as if entеring into Pitch black oil [Chorus] Moonbeams strike the waves Making white lights flow and dance On the branches of a tree that bows above me The quality of that moment passed me by The perfection of it somehow uneventful Adrenaline filled my veins The terror of nowhere to hide A blow back, I left traces And it hurts the regret stabbing at my chest I lived most of my life behind a curtain We are only as sick as our darkest secrets We are only as sick as our darkest secrets [Verse 3] I look down not expecting to see my hand in the dark water But there it is under a perfectly clear, almost hyaline surface It seems paler then it really is Ripples circle my body, gliding forward Over the perfect mirror image of the night Obscuring the detailed textures of the forest And disturbing the twinkling light of the stars that cover a pretend sky [Chorus] Moonbeams strike the waves Making white lights flow and dance On the branches of a tree that bows above me The quality of that moment passed me by The perfection of it somehow uneventful Adrenaline filled my veins The terror of nowhere to hide A blow back, I left traces And it hurts the regret stabbing at my chest I lived most of my life behind the curtain We are only as sick as our darkest secrets We are only as sick as our darkest secrets [Verse 4] I hope you're still in London I soon will be and want to take some more pleasant walks with you Right after, I must head to Istanbul You must tell me how to reach that fascinating cave city you explored Now leave your address and phone number at all of the places I wrote you In case you don't receive this letter by Friday Let us plan to meet at noon, Sunday in front of Westminster Abbey [Outro] Moonbeams strike the waves We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves) We are only as sick as our darkest secrets (moonbeams strike the waves)
