Blackwater - David Sylvian

Hold you in A sea of silence On the borderline of truth Open violence I see no sign I see no place i’ve loved Depending on the signs To fine the road Blackwater take me with you To the place that i have spoken Come lead me through the darkness To the light that i […]

Pocket Full Of Change - David Sylvian
