Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I come at midnight
To my family stones
With a crackling box
And a coat of bones
I ask the dead
If they still remember
The names I carry
Like cold November
The grass is wet
On my black shoes
I leave my heart
Where the moon can bruise
[Pre-Chorus]
Then your shadow moved
At the iron gate
Quiet as a vow
Too late, too late
Your eyes held fire
In a funeral blue
And I heard one voice
Say, I watched for you
[Chorus]
I watched for you
I watched for you
At the edge of the night
I loved you first
I loved you first
When you were out of sight
Say my name, dear
Say my name, dear
And don’t look away
I watched for you
I watched for you
Till the grave turned to day
[Verse 2]
Your coat was velvet
Your smile was grave
Like every secret
I was born to save
You touched my wrist
Like a candle’s thread
And every dead rose
Woke up in red
You said you came
When the stones were cold
To give me the truth
You’d kept and hold
That all this time
Through dust and rain
You wore my sorrow
Like a hidden chain
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you stepped closer
Past the yew and ash
My spirit box hissed
Then fell to black
You said my loneliness
Was never a curse
It was the road
To your heart first
[Chorus]
I watched for you
I watched for you
At the edge of the night
I loved you first
I loved you first
When you were out of sight
Say my name, dear
Say my name, dear
And don’t look away
I watched for you
I watched for you
Till the grave turned to day
[Bridge]
[Male Vocal]
I was never gone
Just tied to your sorrow
Counting your footsteps
Night after night, tomorrow after tomorrow
[Female Vocal]
And all my grief
Turned soft in your stare
Like my dead family
Had been leading you there
[Male Vocal]
Kiss me once
By the broken stone
Let the lonely earth
Know you’re not alone
[Chorus]
I watched for you
I watched for you
At the edge of the night
I loved you first
I loved you first
When you were out of sight
Say my name, dear
Say my name, dear
And don’t look away
I watched for you
I watched for you
Till the grave turned to day
[Outro]
Now I go with you
Through the cypress gate
No more asking ghosts
No more lonely wait
You found my heart
In the family land
And I took his hand
With a shaking hand

Style
Gothic rock with slow swinging toms, minor-key guitar arpeggios, and a pulsing low drone; verse stays hushed and sparse with close-mic female vocals, pre-chorus opens into stacked harmonies and a trembling string bed, chorus blooms with rich male-female doubles and a seductive call-and-response. Ghostly reversed swells, distant bell hits, and breathy delay throws bridge each transition; mix is dark, glossy, and cinematic with sharp top-end shimmer.
