Mary Black - Raven In The Storm lyrics

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
