Genesis "Behind The Lines" lyrics

Behind The Lines

Held the book so tightly in my handI saw your picture, heard you call my nameThere was something strange, I could not look awayI wanted to be there, I wanted to go

But you gave no reasonAnd you gave me no warningBut I was with youRight by your side

Just give me the strengthAnd I can help youAnd they can try their hardest'Cause they don't frighten me

It is written in the bookThe sun is hotter nowThan I felt beforeBut I feel so cold and I don't know why

But if the fire within your heartCan beat the stormThen I really believeWe gonna make it right

The time has come nowWe gotta show our feelingsBut I'm looking right through youAnd your heart is empty

But whatever happened to youIt's too late to change now'Cause there is nowhere you can run to, no place to hideAhh you let me down

But wait a minute, I don't understandIt's getting stronger, so grab my handDon't wanna leave you, now I don't wanna goBut I'm losing all control

Can't you see me?I'm slipping awayAnd I can only stayIf you've the will to keep me here oh Lord

It is written in the book

Oh so many times since then I've read those wordsI'm waiting to see you, can you see me?Oh tell me can you see me?
