Lyric Raven In The Storm

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
