I'm the latest apparition
|
Cutting slices in the night
|
I come through without permission
|
Moving in and out of human sight
|
|
I'm the tapping on your shoulder
|
I am the raving in the storm
|
I'll take shelter in you rafters
|
I'm the shiver when you're warm
|
|
I'm the gold in California
|
I am the well in Mexico
|
Like the vultures in the valley
|
I will wait for you to go
|
|
I'm the gypsy in you pocket
|
I am the horseman in your dreams
|
I'm the reason dogs are barking
|
I am the hand that stops the scream
|
|
I am the baby's cry that isn't
|
I am the distant relative
|
I'm the scratching in the ceiling
|
I am advice you shouldn't give
|
|
I'm the ghost of a travelling salesman
|
My foot will be there in your door
|
Though I can walk through walls and windows
|
I will knock just like before
|
|
I am the darkness in your daughter
|
I am the spot beneath the skin
|
I am the scarlet on the pavement
|
I am the broken heart within
|
|
I won't take a train to nowhere
|
I will not touch just anyone
|
Ask a stranger why I'm waiting
|
In the chamber of a gun
|
