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?
