I'm a voyager into the ether
I look for the songs in the dark
Unafraid of the strong magnetism
Of the pain that leaves permanent marks
I dream of a world-raging ocean
And a ship that is tossed on the waves
And the wreckage I find on the shoreline
And what's left of the ones I can't save

I am the witch of the water
I come like a thief in the night
Bewitched by invisible forces
To lead you away from the light

Oh, I sing to the flow of the river
To the shadows of black and of blue
For the thunder that echoes above me
Is the rhythm that I'm writing to
The tales of the ones who are heavy
The lonely, the lost and the gone
Are the searchers that break through my levee
And the well water that I have drunk

I am the witch of the water
I come like a thief in the night
Bewitched by invisible forces
To lead you away from the light

Follow me into the current
And seeking the magic below
Wait where no happy man searches
In the place only mad women go

I am the witch of the water
I come like a thief in the night
Bewitched by invisible forces
To lead you away from the light
