[Intro] [orchestral hush] [soft harp] [whispered] I awaken, by this longing, reaching in the dark for this longing. [choral tag] NIGHTWATER [Verse] Silent hour where mortal clocks fall still, moonlight trembles in a fragile gleam. As I turn upon my pillow, there I behold crystal chalice of a midnight dream. All my thirst becomes you, only you, all my thoughts return to nothing but you. Tender frost in diamonds glow through the gloom, brushing against my lips, setting fire to the room. [Pre-Chorus] Gentle chill, softly drawn, silver edges shimmer on. I was dust, I was done, then you kissed me with your sanctified rim. [Chorus] NIGHTWATER, quench this aching thirst, let this heart be versed. NIGHTWATER, pure divine, make this spirit shine. NIGHTWATER, cup of midnight sin, let your blessing touch my skin. [Post-Chorus] Liquid hymn, through my lips, shaken hymn in the eclipse. DRIP, DRIP, DRIP, DRIP. DRIP, DRIP, DRIP, DRIP, DRIP, SPLASH, HUSH. [Bridge / Breakdown] [orchestra thins, single piano] You are fleeting in time, a confession and a crime, you were waiting in the shadows while I wandered in my mind. [spoken] I do not seek romance. I seek the rapture at the base of this cup. [Final Chorus] NIGHTWATER, quench this aching thirst, let my soul be nursed. NIGHTWATER, pure divine, make this spirit shine. NIGHTWATER, secret, dark desire, cool the embers of my fire. NIGHTWATER, bathe my heart again, let me rest within my skin. [Outro] [whispered] liquid hymn through my lips, shaken hymn in the eclipse. [soft harp] DRIP, SPLASH, HUSH.
