Genesis – Behind The Lines
I held the book so tightly in my hands,
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
There was something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go
You gave me no warning
You gave no reason
But I was with you
Right by your side
Just give me the strength, and I will help you
And they can try their hardest, cos they don´t frighten me
It is written in the book
It is hotter than I´ve known before, but I feel so cold, and I don´t
Know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then I really believe, you could make it right
Ooh the time has come now
We must show our feelings
But I´m looking right through you
And your heart is empty
Whatever happened to you it´s too late to change now
There´s nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Ah you let me down!
but wait a minute, I don´t understand
It´s getting stronger, so grab my hand
Don´t wanna leave you, don´t wanna go
But I´m losing all control
Can´t you see me? I´m slipping away
I can only stay if you´ve the will to keep me here
It is written in the book
Oh so many times since I´ve read those words
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
