Dusk

[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: Peter Gabriel, 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

[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]

If a leaf has fallen

Does the tree lie broken?

And if we draw some water

Does the well run dry?

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, 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

Lifetime's fears disappear

[Flute Solo]

[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel]

Once a Jesus suffered

Heaven could not see him

And now my ship is sinking

The captain stands alone

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, 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
