from Genesis - A Winter's Tale / One-Eyed Hound [single] (1968)
The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me The peace for all my thoughts The night brings shadows to the street It's the time for dreams of things to come To creep inside their lives You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, deep inside you Let me touch you, let me keep you Let me know you're there You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, no Yes deep inside you're a part of me Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there The evening fantasy begins In the sandy lanes that cross the fields The gentle rain will fall The morning sweeps away the night And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts Bring meaning to my life You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, deep inside you Let me touch you, let me keep you Let me know you're there You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, no Yes deep inside you're a part of me Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there Can you hold me with your small hand Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives Future's brighter now Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky The sky is shining everywhere in our world You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead |

Mister, you've been caught at last
Chasing dogs and moonlight (This man committed a sin this man, he never can win) Mister, you've got one more chance If you catch the hound when the sun shines (This man committed a sin This man, he never can win) And its all gone wrong Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound And it's all been tried before Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound Have you seen the one-eyed hound Tell me where he is going (This man committed a sin This man, he never can win) Every place that I have been No one else has seen him (This man committed a sin This man, he never can win) And its all gone wrong Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound And it's all been tried before Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound Everybody's telling me exactly where to go (This man committed a sin This man, he never can win) People call or people talk But they don't reach agreement (This man committed a sin This man, he never can win) And its all gone wrong Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound And it's all been tried before Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed Hound |

Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free to move around on my own I look into the sun and I see a reflection Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man That's me, that's me And I know it's how I'm always gonna be Nothing to do, nothing to say Nothing to hope, and nothing to pray I can see, I can feel I've forgotten what I'm meant to be Won't come back, not if I try They told me things about me that I didn't know But I could tell they've told me lies And it really goes to show That everyone was wrong And they don't understand my ways But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them I can see, I can feel I've forgotten what I'm meant to be Won't come back, not if I try They told me things about me that I didn't know But I could tell they've told me lies And it really goes to show That everyone was wrong And they don't understand my ways But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them Every morning when the people are out And I'm free to move around my own I look into the sun and I see a reflection Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man That's me, that's me And I know it's how I'm always gonna be That's me, that's me And I know it's how I'm always gonna be Shrivelled old man Who hides from a world He's never seen the light That can set him free His vicious life Is such a shame I wanna find out who's to blame And that's me, oh that's me, aaoh Set me free |

The silent sun that never shines,
She is the warmth of my lonely heart, The motion of a turning wheel, Can't you stop it and look around. Baby, you feel so close, I wish you could see my love, Baby, you've changed my life, I'm trying to show you. A tiny stone that hides from me Can't you see that I'm just outside, A mountain stream that chills the sea, Can't you feel in your useless pride. Baby, you feel so close, I wish you could see my love, Baby, you've changed my life, I'm trying to show you. When night reveals a star-filled sky, I want to hold it in my hands, When snowflakes heal the ugly ground, Your beauty hides the joy I've found. |

Am I very wrong,
To hide behind the glare of an open minded Stare, Am I very wrong, To wander in the fear of a never ending lie. Am I very wrong, To try to close my ears to the sound they play So loud Am I very wrong, The happiness machine is trying hard to sing My song. Today's your birthday friend Everything all right, let us our greetings to you Send, Happy friend, Everything all right, We hope your life will never end. Am I very wrong, To want to steal a pin then I'll check that I have Skin, Am I very wrong, To want to leave my friends and the curse of The happiness machine. Today's your birthday friend, Everything all right. Let us our greetings to you Send, Happy friend, Everything all right, We hope your life will never end. |

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth,
It came to pass that beauty settled there Forever more, And as the steam clings close to things to come, It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life. Once upon a time there was confusion, Disappointment, fear and disillusion, Now there's hope reborn with every morning, See the future clearly at its dawning. Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptyness, As water slips into the sea The father's sad to see it free. As shadows creep towards their master night, It came to pass that trees defied the wind who Shook their leaves, And as the peace descended all around, It came to pass that nature's creatures came to Face the world. Once upon a time there was confusion, Disappointment, fear and disillusion, Now there's hope reborn with every morning, See the future clearly at its dawning. Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptyness, As water slips into the sea The father's sad to see it free. Once upon a time there was confusion, Disappointment, fear and disillusion, Now there's hope reborn with every morning, See the future clearly at its dawning. |

Pick me up, put me down,
Push me in, turn me round, Switch me on, let me go. I have a mind of my own. In hiding, Far from the city of night And the factories of truth, I stand upon the mountain, A million miles from my home, And the faces of fear, I have freedom to think. In hiding, I may take off my clothes That I wear on my face, I float upon a river A million miles from the plains, That are piercing the clouds, I am lost in the beauty, in hiding. Pick me up, put me down, Push me in, turn me round, Switch me on, let me go. I have a mind of my own. I'm wishing you were here In hiding, I lie silent at last, I am free from my past. I walk among the tall trees This is beauty I know I am in love with it all. I have freedom to love In hiding. Pick me up, put me down, Push me in, turn me round, Switch me on, let me go. I have a mind of my own. |

Please take me away
Far from this place, Leaving me here Take me away To the furthest star in the sky. Take me away To the deepest cave of the night. Take me away, voices of love, here am I In the sad sad world of fear Take me away From the power of my ambition And I'll be happy. I - I've conquered time. Where will I go? - am I still mine? - Take me away. Take me away To the furthest star in the sky. Take me away To the deepest cave of the night. Take me away, voices of love, here am I In the sad sad world of fear Take me away From the power of my ambition And I'll be happy. Peace, floating in limbo. Limbo, leading me nowhere. Peace, now without motion, I cry, when will I die? God, where is my soul now My lord, please set me free. |

Ocean of motion,
Squirming around and up and down Pushing together, Scattering mountains all around, That is a sound of a new born world, And a light from a curious sky It has begun, You're in the hands of destiny. Thrashing with violence, Hurling its lava up and down, Furnace of frenzy. Burning with power uncontrolled. That is the sound of a new born world, And the light from a curious sky It has begun, You're in the hands of destiny. Is that the chariot with stallions gold, Is that the prince of heaven on the ground, Is that the roar of a thunderflash, This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned, Father, son, look down with happiness, Life is on its way.

Leaving all the world to play,
They disappear. And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer. Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn Mist surrounds the seagulls, christened by the Storm. Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time. Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill Death is easy as a substitute for pride Victors join together, happy in their bed Leaving cold outside the children of the dead. Music, all I hear is music Guaranteed to please And I look for something else Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time. |

Don't get me wrong, Open your eyes, Although I cannot show my heart, I'll watch and hope, While you are near to me. One day I'll capture you And call you to my side. One day I'll take you from The boredom of our lives. One day we'll fly away To the kingdom of my dreams. One day I'll find myself And wrap it in my love for you. Birds of the sky May I borrow your wings. Very soon I'll ask my love, To travel with me to the world outside. Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom, Very soon I'll ask my love To come inside the nest I'll build alone. One day I'll capture you And call you to my side.

And points at everything he hates, He calls to you hey look out son, That's a gun they're pointing at your pretty Face. And the heads they are a rolling, For the conqueror is on his way, And the justice day is coming, For the conqueror is on his way, Five hundred little women are calling At their hero's door, Yes their hero's working overtime, He's squirming on an empty floor. And the heads they are a rolling, For the conqueror is on his way, And the justice day is coming, For the conqueror is on his way, He's bought the castle on the hill He's bought it just to knock it down, The local power shout him down, They say he's just an empty headed clown. And the heads they are a rolling, For the conqueror is on his way, And the justice day is coming, For the conqueror is on his way, He's busy building monuments, To hide inside his empty grave, You there can you find some souls He's looking for some people to save. And the heads they are a rolling, For the conqueror is on his way, And the justice day is coming, For the conqueror is on his way, And the words of love are killing him, And the conqueror is on his way The words of love were lying on an empty floor, Just in the place where the conqueror lay. |

And god created man from dust, with a soul Inside his mould, And god created womankind, The vessel of satan's hold.

The silent sun that never shines,
She is the warmth of my lonely heart, The motion of a turning wheel, Can't you stop it and look around. Baby, you feel so close, I wish you could see my love, Baby, you've changed my life, I'm trying to show you. A tiny stone that hides from me Can't you see that I'm just outside, A mountain stream that chills the sea, Can't you feel in your useless pride. Baby, you feel so close, I wish you could see my love, Baby, you've changed my life, I'm trying to show you. When night reveals a star-filled sky, I want to hold it in my hands, When snowflakes heal the ugly ground, Your beauty hides the joy I've found. |

If you see another staring straight at you
Take his life and change it ? that's what you always do You're still in the days of childhood Where everything is wrong and no good I can see what you're trying What you're trying to be Let me tell you now Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness Or you love will never be found [Push a pink Dalmatian???] out into the street So you laugh, but cry when it comes to bite your feet You say it's fun to live Where there's always take and no give Don't you see that where you're living There's a world of sin? Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness Or you love will never be found You always hide your loving Before it's gone and too late Things are changing, you're remaining Leave it and come with me Let me tell you now Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness Or you love will never be found Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby Try a little sadness baby [fade out] |

Slowly eyes trench at my arms freely
Shadows of night disappear. Rise from the slough of despond, find the pathway, Guiding us forward through pastures of Dream day, Days to enjoy, peace I knew once before me, Dawning to dusk on the hills until morning Come see me take my hand, Come see me in my land. Flying invisibly high, watch me. All on a beautiful sky, I'll be Clear and serene in the love I've discovered. Long search is over, the soul is uncovered, Resting on joy that abounds without ceasing, Bidding farewell to the fears now decreasing. Come see me take my hand, Come see me in my land. High upon the golden crested wave she sits, The little nymphs dance in her hair, The trees all becon to the sky to bless their Empty lives, Horizons come to sip wine there, The veiled mist reveals the wandering ship upon the reef, The albatross flies to the stern, And only jack frost saw the kiss you gave him In return Crossing the mountains of truth see them, Soaring majestically high, and then, Stop at the warning light, see it flash brightly, Thunder awakes me, it crashes beside me Shatter the scene and bring chaos to beauty Leading me forward where destiny may be. Come see me take my hand, View from another land. |

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 has 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 Jesus suffered, Heaven could not see him. And now my ship is sinking, The captain stands alone. A pawn on the 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 his passerby, born to die. |

Looking For Someone
Looking for someone I guess I'm doing that Trying to find a memory in a dark room. Dirty man, you're looking like a Buddha - I know you well. Yeaah Keep on a straight line. I don't believe I can, Trying to find a needle in a haystack, Chilly wind you're piercing like a dagger - it hurts me so. Yeaah Nobody needs to discover me - I'm back again You see the sunlight through the trees, to keep you warm in peaceful shades of green Yet in the darkness of my mind Damascus wasn't far behind. Lost in a subway I guess I'm losing time There's a man looking at a magazine You're such a fool, your mumbojumbo never tells me anything. Yeaah Nobody needs to discover me - I'm back again You feel the ashes from the fire that kept you warm its comfort disappears But still the only friend I know Will never tell me where I go. .. Looking for someone And now I've found myself a name Gone away - leave me - all that I have I will give Leave me - leave me - all that I am I will give. |

Stagnation
Here today the red sky tells his tale, but the only listening eyes are mine There is peace amongst the hills, and the night will cover all my pride. Blessed are they who smile from bodies free, seems to me like any other crowd who are waiting to be saved. .. Wait, there is still time for washing in the pool, wash away the past. Moon, my long-lost friend is smiling from above, smiling at my tears. Come, we'll walk the path to take us to my home, keep outside the night. The ice-cold knife has come to decorate the dead, somehow. And each will find a home, And there will still be time, for love in my friend - You are there - And will I wait for ever, beside the silent mirror And fish for bitter minnows amongst the weeds and slimy water.. I.. said I want to sit down. I id I want to sit down. I want a drink. - I want a drink, To take all the dust and the dirt from my throat. I want a drink. - I want a drink. To wash out the filth that is deep in my guts. I want a drink. THEN LET US DRINK - THEN LET US SMILE. - THEN LET US G0. |

Tell me my life is about to begin
Tell me that I am a hero Promise me all your violent dreams Light up your body in anger. Now, in this ugly world It is time to destroy this evil. Now, when I give the word Are you ready to fight for your freedom? NOW Stand up and fight, for you know we are right We must strike at the lies That have spread like disease through our minds. Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest And we'll spread out of kindness To all who our love now deserve. Some of you are going to die Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide. I'll give you the names of those you must kill, All must die with their children. Carry their heads to the palace of old, Hang them on stakes let the blood flow. Now, in this hate-filled world We must break all the chains that have bound us. Now, the crusade has begun We shall make this a land fit for heroes. NOW Stand up and fight, for you know we are right We must strike at the lies That have spread like disease through our minds. Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest And we'll spread out of kindness To all who our love now deserve. Some of you are going to die Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide. We are only wanting freedom. WE HAVE WON Some of you are going to die, Martyrs of course to the freedom I shall provide. |

Visions Of Angels
Standing in a forest gazing at the son looking at the trees but there's not even one See a rippling stream that smiles and then goes by run to feel its comfort but the water's dry. I see her face and run to take her hand Why she's never there I just don't understand The trumpets sound my whole world crumbles down Visions of angels all around dance in the sky Leaving me here forever goodbye. As the leaves will crumble so will fall my love for the fragile beauty of our lives must fade Though I once remember echoes of my youth now I sense no past, no love that ends in love Take this dream the stars have filled with light As the blossom glides like snowflakes from the trees In vengeance to a god no-one can reach. Visions of angels all around dance in the sky Leaving me here forever goodbye. .. Ice is moving and the world's begun to freeze see the sunlight stopped and deadened by the breeze Minds are empty bodies move insensitive some believe that when they die they really live I believe there never is on end God gave up this world its people long ago Why she's never there I still don't understand Visions of angels all around dance in the sky Leaving me here forever goodbye. etc. |

White Mountain
Thin hung the web like a trap in a cage, The fox lay asleep in his lair. Fangs frantic paws told the tale of his sin. Far off the chase shrieked revenge. Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread, The last sacred haunt of the dead. He learnt of a truth which only one wolf may know, The sceptre and crown of the king, Howling for blood, One-eye leads on the pack, Plunging through forests and snow-storms. .. Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky, Fang sped through jungles of ice. Hard on his rail, One-eye drew from the pack An old hero conquered by none. Steep, far too steep, grew the pathway ahead Descent was the only escape A wolf never flees in the face of his foe Fang knew the price he would pay One-eye stood before him With the crown upon his head Sceptre raised to deal the deadly blow. .. Fang, Son of Great Fang, the Traitor we seek, The laws of the Brethren say this: That only the King sees the Crown of the Gods And he, the Usurper must die Snarling he tore at the throat of his foe But Fang fought the hero in vain Dawn saw the white mountain tinted with red Never would the crown leave again One-eye hid the crown and with laurels on his head Returned amongst the tribe and dwelt in peace. |

Seven long years have gone by,
Scattered on the wind, Fortunes made and squandered, Ardour's beacon growing dim. Seven long years have now past Neither glimpse nor word Of the jewel that vanished Though the case lay undisturbed. Seven long years have I spent Trying to forget, But no man can banish Heaven he has sought and met. Through the trials and the tears Still I cannot learn, Ever hopeless dreaming Perhaps some day you will return. |

Dear Friend,
When you are gone, There'll always be this song To remind you of where you once belonged. Though for you fly way, your face will bless the day. Safe road through stormy weather, let me hear you say: The sun will shine again. New dawns will rise again. And we'll be together, till the end. Oh baby, what am I supposed to do? Oh baby, when times get rough, The going's hard, I'll still be here for you. The sun will shine again. New dawns will rise again. And we'll be together, till the end. |

Now that you don't know me,
Is it gone forever, past? Now my rock has crumbled In the stormy winter blast. Now the world is darkening As I watch the farewell train, Though once she spoke within me ? Strange, may never see you again. Now the wind is asking: How a rock so firm can fall. Then the breeze he murmurs: She rose not to save death's call. Now the leaves are rustling, Do I hear them speak a name That waits round every corner ? Strange, may never see you again. Little girl, lilting lilac, Autumn Queen, by this quiet brook, Once you lay, breathing softly ? Now I watch the ashes burn, A stranger who may not return Rose with the dawn, Sailed on the morning tide. Take this, shining acorn, Treasure it, through joy and sorrow When you're old, tired and lonely, Open it ? a voice will sigh, A memory that went drifting by Upon the tide that swept you from my side. Now the bells are calling, I must tread the homeward track. Leave the whispering ripples For the next part I must act. Though I gave the whole world, She remembers not my name. That star beneath the bright lights ? Strange may never see you again. |

"All the World's a stage,"
A friend of mine, he sometimes said, And though he tried to show the way, They only care about his name. "Love is for the Fool," A blind old man, he always said, But of it's joys he sometimes spoke And then it seemed, he could see. "Life is for the Strong," A travelling monk, he told me once But of the weak, he never spoke Though their cries beat on his ears. I stood my gun in hand The swallow flew to meet his love And as they touched, I shot him down But now it's me that can't fly. |

"Rest your head my love;
Rest your tired limbs; Leave your mind at peace, at peace, at peace, What are you thinking now?" "Thinking of a girl As golden as the sun She loved me not like you, like you, like you" "Pray do you love me more?" "It's hard to say for sure, A child, sixteen, was I Both virgins did we buy, we buy, we buy" "You loved her more than me". "She left me one dark night She took my heart for free I've seen her not since then, since then, since then, God if I saw her now." |

See, the days grown long
Winter comes upon us Like a storm at sea. And the will to live Seems a little thin sometimes When those you love are Lost beneath the snowfall. "Give and you will live", Said a man who lived In a funny way. So we share our cup With the thirsty fawn of life Who leaves us on the Highway without water. Master of Time, take me back through the years. Master of Time, let me try once again And I will give more, oh how I'll try, And with this, a new life I'll buy. Hush! The marsh-duck cries, Far away, she knows That her love will be, And she nestles down, Sobbing still, she dries her eyes, Knowing that the world Will cry the rest out. Where did beauty go? Seek it here, there But it's slipped away. And when they come to lay me down, I will take your memory too, They'll know that in my final hour, I loved you. Master of Time, take me back through the years. Master of Time, let me try once again And I will give more, oh how I'll try, And with this, a new life I'll buy. |

Look, see how the world goes round,
Look, see how the day goes on, You, it won't stop to help you Me, it won't stop to help me. All the time a wind is blowing Where it's blowing next we don't know... Look, some spend their days in slumber, Look, someone is weary toiling, Home, be my guest and come back home. Come, you'll be better off at home. All the time someone is dying, Where he's dying next we don't know... I sit in the sunset Watching God's evening, Receding so gently now Into the Westlands. I think I'm at peace now But of nothing am I certain Only which way will the wind blow next time? You, you might never have been saved Ah, well you might not have been so brave, Time would have shown the parting waves And you slipping under Autumn's gaze And now I know that nothing is what it ever seems. I sit in the sunset Watching God's evening, Receding so gently now Into the Westlands. I think I'm at peace now But of nothing am I certain Only which way will the wind blow next time? |

Say no word
She watched as she waited By the iron gate Veiled in black brocade Tom was all alone She spoke soft but breathless, He took the half-a-crown And thought how strange Long ago, she knew a man Who sailed the seas And gave her a daughter Through the vanished years Fate bestowed a lady's seat She honoured it with grace Hid the past and with it me And now, she is everything to me Though I was denied her tenderness Years spent in gloom I cried in my room I believed I'd been quite deserted But now that I find She gave everything to me Until it became quite impossible Scorn upon scandal Helpless to handle She's bitterly breaking now Why is my dream disturbed? Cold cut the wind We pitched as we tossed From cobblestone to track Along the old canal Fierce came the frost The stone changed to pasture Could anyone survive? Has anybody seen? Long ago a fox found out, They laid the captain dead at his masthead Searching everywhere, Questioning the wind and trees I beat the empty air, Knowing it has seen her face And now, I'd give everything to know Why my flesh and blood must suffer so Turning and tossing From river to crossing Causing great confusion If only she knew she was everything to me, Alone now, somewhere, she's imploring me Oh, please forgive me I've been so thoughtless She's bitterly breaking now For, she is everything to me Though I denied her tenderness Years spent in gloom I cried in my room I believed I'd been quite deserted But now that I find She gave everything to me Until it became quite impossible Scorn upon scandal Helpless to handle I pray we are not too late... Bleak rose the towers The rain lashed the horses We found the gate ajar Her cloak lay in a heap The captain's furled his sails It comes as no surprise She's no longer here. |

They saw the flags, it didn't look so bad
they heard the news and how we could not lose And they sang with the marching band The sailors' wives with anxious eyes But it impressed them too They even cheered up as the ships pulled clear And though it was no-one's fault That men went off to war I saw a thousand faces all along the shore... The women were watching So no-one thought of turning back He didn't fight for his country's pride His life was sold cos it was better than the dole He even waved as they sent him away But something's changed - no this is not a game She held his hand and it was cold and damp She couldn't hide from the feelings inside Cos in the storm the night before She heard him calling... goodbye goodbye goodbye Won't you give me a smile I could be gone for a long long while And though it was no-one's fault That he had to go to war Among a thousand faces all along the shore A woman was watching He never thought of turning back |
