Genesis - The Shepherd Lyrics
1970. officially unreleased.Rise up! take your lyre and singListen! to the news I bringFrosty breath on the windowSee a friend in the snow that gently fallsFeel the truth in those sad eyesSee the smile thats so rareJust like the loveShe waits for...And she plays a game of her ownAs she sleeps within the firelightFor her dreams are incredibly wildBut theyre lost and gone forever, with the dawnFair and friend of the fleece spokeWarrior bold, shepherd wise, fair prince of peaceSomeone waits in the doorwayOn a white horse he comes and holds out the handShe waits for...So they ride through a valley of mistTo a castle in the heavensWhere he lays her down to restBut hes lost and gone forever, with the dawnSee her writhe in her dream, then...Mermaids sing in the sunsetSadly asking if beauty ever walks freeBut queen frost only whispersMaidens you will remain, to be freeSee her writhe in her dreams...Lord of the seven sons!Keeper of the keys of time!(hear me)
