Water Witch (Commentary)

I'm a voyager into the ether

I look for the songs in the dark

Unafraid of the strong magnetism

Of the pain that leaves permanent marks

I dream of a world-raging ocean

And a ship that is tossed on the waves

And the wreckage I find on the shoreline

And what's left of the ones I can't save

I am the witch of the water

I come like a thief in the night

Bewitched by invisible forces

To lead you away from the light

Oh, I sing to the flow of the river

To the shadows of black and of blue

For the thunder that echoes above me

Is the rhythm that I'm writing to

The tales of the ones who are heavy

The lonely, the lost and the gone

Are the searchers that break through my levee

And the well water that I have drunk

I am the witch of the water

I come like a thief in the night

Bewitched by invisible forces

To lead you away from the light

Follow me into the current

And seeking the magic below

Wait where no happy man searches

In the place only mad women go

I am the witch of the water

I come like a thief in the night

Bewitched by invisible forces

To lead you away from the light
