Dusk Lyrics by Genesis

Trespass

1970

[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
See my hand is moving
Touching all that's real
And once it stroked love's body
Now it claws the past

[Chorus: Tony Banks, John Mayhew, Anthony Phillips & Mike Rutherford]
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

[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
If a leaf has fallen
Does the tree lie broken?
And if we draw some water
Does the well run dry?

[Chorus: Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel, John Mayhew, Anthony Phillips & Mike Rutherford]
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

[Flute Solo]

[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel]
Once a Jesus suffered
Heaven could not see him
And now my ship is sinking
The captain stands alone

[Chorus: Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel, John Mayhew, Anthony Phillips & Mike Rutherford]
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
