Verse 1:
BmWhen I first saw your trespasser
F#mHe wandered uninvited to your BmdoorF#m  
BmHe seemed to know his way around
AlF#mthough I'd never seen his face beBmforeF#m  
BmPausing for a moment underEmneath your window ledge
He turned around to see the shadow of the Dsundial on the hedge
There was a Ctightness in his face, as Bmthough he were on edge
I don't know F#mwhy
Chorus:
You Bmsee him in your F#mdreams
You Bmsee him in your F#mdreams
You Bmsee him in your F#mdreams
But Gnow I seem to Asee him all the Bmtime
Verse 2:
You Bmsaid if there's a trespasser
F#mThere must be a footprint or a BmsignF#m  
And Bmwhat would he be looking for
There's F#mnothing here for anyone to BmfindF#m  
And Bmwhile you tried to say it couldn't Embe I realized 
That you could Gfeel no sense of danger and you Ddidn't seem surprised
I got the Cfeeling that you knew more than you Bmsaid but felt advised 
To keep it F#min
Repeat Chorus:
Verse 3:
 BmNow I see your trespasser Emgo wandering alone
Sometimes he's Gstanding by the flowers or Dmelting in the stone
And even Cwhen I cannot see him I can Bmfeel it in my bones
That he's still F#mthere
