Dusk (Genesis)

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 a 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.
