Peter Gabriel - Blood Of Eden Lyrics
I caught sight of my reflectionI caught it in the windowI saw the darkness in my heartI saw the signs of my undoingThey had been there from the startAnd the darkness still has work to doThe knotted chords untyingTheyre heated and theyre holyOh theyre sitting there on highSo secure with everything theyre buying{chorus:}In the blood of edenLie the woman and the manWith the man in the womanAnd the woman in the manIn the blood of edenLie the woman and the manWe wanted the unionOh the union of the womanThe woman and the manMy grip is surely slippingI think Ive lost my holdYes, I think Ive lost my holdI cannot get insurance anymoreThey dont take credit, only goldIs that a dagger or a crucifix I seeYou hold so tightly in your handAnd all the while the distance grows between you and meI do not understand[chorus]At my request, you take me inIn that tenderness, I am floating awayNo certainty, nothing to rely onHolding still for a momentWhat a moment this isOh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of blissHeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyI can hear the distant thunderOf a million unheard soulsOf a million unheard soulsWatch each one reach for creature comfortFor the filling of their holesIn the blood of edenLie the woman and the manWith the man in the womanAnd the woman in the manIn the blood of edenWe wanted the unionOf the woman and the manIn the blood of edenLie the woman and the manI feel the man in the womanAnd the woman in the manIn the blood of edenLie the woman and the manI feel the man in the womanAnd the woman in the manIn the blood of edenWeve done everything we canIn the blood of edenSaw the end as we beganWith the man in the womanAnd the woman in the manIt was all for the unionOh, the union of the woman, the woman and the man.[extra lyrics from the film mix]The blood of eden keeps running through meRunning through my veinsThe blood of eden keeps rushing through meWhen Im sure theres none that remainsThe blood of eden keeps running through meI can feel it in my bonesThat blood of eden keeps rushing through meTaking back what it owns
