Black Water Emilíana Torrini

[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
