Mad Man Moon (2007 - Remaster)-Genesis

[00:18.56]Was it summer when the river ran dry, [00:24.16]Or was it just another dam. [00:30.25]When the evil of a snowflake in June [00:35.16]Could still be a source of relief. [00:41.13]O how I love you, I once cried long ago, [00:47.00]But I was the one who decided to go. [00:52.86]To search beyond the final crest, [00:56.42]Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high. [01:10.04]So I pretended to have wings for my arms [01:16.82]And took off in the air. [01:21.49]I flew to places which the clouds never see, [01:26.88]Too close to the deserts of sand, [01:32.60]Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies [01:38.62]Forced me to land and take a disguise. [01:44.30]I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back [01:48.52]If I could find a horse not made of sand. [02:02.41]If this desert's all there'll ever be [02:08.12]Then tell me what becomes of me. [02:13.19]A fall of rain? [02:16.23]That must have been another of your dreams, [02:22.12]A dream of mad man moon. [04:49.75]Hey man, [04:51.34]I'm the sand man. [04:52.60]And boy have I news for you; [04:55.14]They're gonna throw you in gaol [04:56.90]And you know they can't fail [04:58.42]'Cos sand is thicker than blood. [05:01.35]But a prison in sand [05:02.99]Is a haven in hell, [05:04.60]For a gaol can give you a goal [05:07.17](and a) goal can find you a role [05:09.06]On a muddy pitch in Newcastle, [05:11.56]Where it rains so much [05:13.12]You can't wait for a touch [05:14.73]Of sun and sand, sun and sand... [05:26.47]Within the valley of shadowless death [05:31.42]They pray for thunderclouds and rain, [05:37.29]But to the multitude who stand in the rain [05:42.37]Heaven is where the sun shines. [05:47.79]The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown [05:53.42]And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down. [05:59.14]Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn [06:04.51]To disbelieve the sea. [06:16.75]If this desert's all there'll ever be [06:22.28]Then tell me what becomes of me. [06:26.79]A fall of rain? [06:30.31]That must have been another of your dreams, [06:35.52]A dream of mad man moon.
