Too many ghosts reside behind this window

I could dig it out but I don't

Hear the beginning of morning song

Tripping lightly from night's tongue

City lights fade below me

Black wings spread overhead

Lover, didn't you know me? 



I will overcome

I will open

I will overcome

I will open



Slow my body moves into the future forever

Waiting for the moment of gift

Temper the balance of life and love

Fall and the tightrope chokes

You'll over land and sea

To find a girl, shoot the pearl for one man only



I will overcome

I will open

I will overcome

I will open



I will overcome

I will open

I will overcome

I will open



Black wings spread overhead

Lover, didn't you know me?
