lyrics

But the story doesn't end with the death of the wanderer
Oh no
In fact, it is since his death that the life of this poor artist became of any interest
You see the town in which this stranger died was never quite the same since his passing
Sometimes at night half the town would be awoken by music
Weeping melodies that dripped with worry and warning
And they never could quite find the source of it
A few times huge murals would appear on the sides of downtown buildings
overnight, seemingly coming out of thin air
They depicted haunted images that seemed all too real and all too personal to each resident of the town
And every so often someone would come forward saying they saw a stranger in the middle of the night
Under the lamp post in the middle of the town square
And every story would be the same
He had a guitar around his shoulder and was tapping a pencil on the post
"Night Soul" they called him
And a legend he became
They would always know where to look
When over the air that pencil tapping came
