Unfortunate Soul

Unfortunate soul,

you drift through me

Like old blue film

in a quiet sea

You wore the night like a borrowed coat Smiling wide while the

cold wind rose I kept your name in a paper boat Letting

it spin where the dark tide goes You move so light,

then you pull me under Sweet and strange with a reckless grace

I hear your laugh in the distant thunder Still I reach for

your vanished face Take me where the daylight bends Hold me right

before it ends Every spark beneath my skin Says your storm is

pulling in Unfortunate soul,

you set me alight Soft as a memory,

wild as the tide

Unfortunate soul,

when you call my name I break like a wave and bloom

like a flame Oh,

you pull me in Oh,

you pull me in (ooh) Ah-ah,

ah-ah

Unfortunate

soul

(ah!) You left a trace on the window glass A little moon

in a shaking room I watched our younger hours all pass Blooming

bright, then gone too soon Now every road has your hidden color

Every silence wears your tone I dance with doubt and a tender

hunger Making a home of the undertow If I let go,

will you return

If I stay close,

will I still burn

Love can be sweet as a falling star

Love can be cruel for who we are Unfortunate soul,

you set me alight Soft as a memory,

wild as the tide Unfortunate soul,

when you call my name I break like a wave

and bloom like a flame

Oh, you pull me in

Oh, you pull me in

Unfortunate soul

Stay with me awhile
