Dusk (Demo 1969)

Lyrics

[Refrain: Peter Gabriel] Hoo-ooh Hoo-ooh [Verse 1: Peter Gabriel] See my hand is moving Touching all that's real And once it stroked love's body Now it claws the past [Chorus: Tony Banks, John Mayhew, Anthony Phillips & Mike Rutherford] 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 [Refrain: Peter Gabriel] Hoo-ooh Hoo-ooh [Verse 2: Peter Gabriel] If a leaf has fallen Does the tree lie broken? If we draw some water Does the well run dry? [Chorus: Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel, John Mayhew, Anthony Phillips & Mike Rutherford] The sigh of a mother The screaming of lovers Like two angry tigers They tear at each other See how for him Lifеtime's fears disappear [Flute Solo] [Refrain: Peter Gabriel] Hoo-ooh Hoo-ooh [Verse 3: Peter Gabriel] Oncе a Jesus suffered (Na-na-na-na-na-na) Heaven could not see him (Na-na-na-na-na-na) And now my ship is sinking (Na-na-na-na-na-na) The captain stands alone [Chorus: Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel, John Mayhew, Anthony Phillips & Mike Rutherford] 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 [Flute Solo]
