Trespasser Lyrics

Trespasser lyrics

(Al Stewart/Peter White)

 

 When I first saw your trespasser

 He wandered uninvited

 To your door

 He seemed to know his way around

 Although I'd never seen 

 His face before

 Pausing for a moment

 Underneath your window ledge

 He turned around

 To see the shadow

 Of the sundial on the hedge

 There was a tightness in his face

 As though he were on edge

 I don't know why

 

 CHORUS

 You see him in your dreams

 You see him in your dreams

 You see him in your dreams

 But I seem to see him all the time

 

 You said if there's a trespasser

 Then there must be

 A footprint or a sign

 And what would he be looking for

 There's nothing here

 For anyone to find

 And while you tried to say

 It coulnd't be

 I realized that you could feel

 No sense of danger

 ANd you din't seem surprised

 I got the feeling that you

 Knew more than you said

 But felt advised to keep it in

 

 CHORUS

 

 Now I see your trespasser

 Go wandering alone

 Sometimes he's standing by the flowers

 Or melting in the stone

 And even when I cannot see him

 I can feel it in my bones

 That he's still there

 

 CHORUS
