Genesis - Undertow Lyrics
The curtains are drawnNow the fire warms the room.Meanwhile outsideWind from the north-east chills the air,It will soon be snowing out there.And some there areCold, they prepare for a sleepless night.Maybe this will be their last fight.But were safe in each others embrace,All fears go out as I look on your face -Better think awhileOr I may never think again.If this were the last day of your life, my friend,Tell me, what do you think you would do then?Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,Make the most of all you still have coming to you, [or]Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your kneesLet me live again, let life come find me wanting.Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,Telling me the dangers past, I need not fear the icy blast again.Laughter, music and perfume linger hereAnd there, and there,Wine flows from flask to glass and mouth,As it soothes, confusing our doubts.And soon we feel,Why do a single thing to-day,Theres tomorrow sure as Im here.So the days they turn into yearsAnd still no tomorrow appears.Better think awhileOr I may never think again.If this were the last day of your life, my friend,Tell me, what do you think you would do then?Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,Make the most of all you still have coming to you, [or]Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your kneesLet me live again, let life come find me wanting.Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,Telling me the dangers past, I need not fear the icy blast again.
