Dusk - Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks

See my hand is moving

Touching all that’s real

And once it stroked love’s body

Now it claws the past

The scent of a flower

The colours of the morning

Friends to believe in

Tears soon forgotten

See how the rain drives away, another day

If a leaf as fallen

Does the tree lie broken?

And if we draw some water

Does the well run dry?

The sigh of a mother

The screaming of lovers

Like two angry tigers

They tear at each other

See how for him lifetime’s fears disappear

Once had Jesus suffered

Heaven could not see him

And now my ship is sinking

The captain stands alone

A pawn on a chessboard

A false move by God will now destroy me

But wait, on the horizon

A new dawn seems to be rising

Never to recall this passerby, born to die
