Agnes Obel "Familiar" lyrics

Familiar

Can you walk on the water with I, you and I?"Because your blood's running cold" said the familiar, true to lifeCan you walk on the water with I, you and I?Or keep your eyes on the road and live there familiar, without you and IIt glows with gates of gold, true to life

And our love is a ghost that the others can't seeIt's a dangerEvery shade of us you fade down to keepThem in the dark on who we are(Oh what you do to me)Gonna be the death of meIt's a dangerCause our love is a ghost that the others can't see

We took a walk to the summit at night, you and ITo burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar, you and IAnd the dark was opening wide, do or dieUnder a mask of vermillion (a million) ruling eyes

And our love is a ghost that the others can't seeIt's a dangerEvery shade of us you fade down to keepThem in the dark on who we are(Oh what you do to me)Gonna be the death of meIt's dangerCause our love is a ghost that the others can't see
