Presence

Lyrics: Verse 1 After dusk, the gray watcher comes Beside my window, the old glass drums A strange figure waits beside my room Then slips away with a ghostly tune Refrain 1 Watcher, watcher, why do you stay? Why do you visit at end of day? Your gray shape returns once more Then leaves a chill by my old floor Verse 2 The old gray watcher walks around Without a word, it brings no clue It waits beside the window pane Every visit feels the same Refrain 2 Gray watcher, what do you seek? You arrive each time of week Your strange return begins a tale Then you vanish down the trail Verse 3 My friends all laugh and call it fake They say my story is a mistake But when I look across the room I see that figure start to loom Refrain 3 Watcher, watcher, there you are Waiting by the window far Your gray form moves with no reply Then disappears before I cry Verse 4 I keep a journal of each visit Every page records the minute But no one sees the thing I find Except the witness in my mind Refrain 4 Watcher, watcher, end this game Why do you always look the same? I'll wait until you leave my sight Then find my peace when you depart
