Trespasser - Al Stewart

When I first saw your trespasser

He wandered uninvited to your door

He seemed to know his way around

Although I’d never seen his face before

Pausing for a moment underneath your window ledge

He turned around to see the shadow of the sundial on the hedge

There was a tightness in his face as though he were on edge

I don’t know why

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

But I seem to see him all the time

You said if there’s a trespasser

There must be a footprint or a sign

And what would he be looking for

There’s nothing here for anyone to find

And while you tried to say it couldn’t be I realized

That you could feel no sense of danger and you didn’t seem surprised

I got the feeling that you knew more than you said but felt advised

To keep it in

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

But I seem to see him all the time

Now I see your trespasser go wandering alone

Sometimes he’s standing by the flowers or melting in the stone

And even when I cannot see him I can feel it in my bones

That he’s still there

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

But I seem to see him all the time

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

You see him in your dreams

But I seem to see him all the time
