(Tony Banks/Phil Collins/Mike Rutherford)
|
I held the book so tightly in my hands,
|
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
|
There was something strange, I could not look away
|
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go
|
|
You gave me no warning
|
You gave no reason
|
But I was with you
|
Right by your side
|
Just give me the strength, and I will help you
|
And they can try their hardest, cos they don't frighten me
|
|
It is written in the book
|
|
It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold, and I don't know why
|
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
|
Then I really believe, you could make it right
|
|
Ooh the time has come now
|
We must show our feelings
|
But I'm looking right through you
|
And your heart is empty
|
|
Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now
|
There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
|
Ah you let me down!
|
...but wait a minute, I don't understand
|
It's getting stronger, so grab my hand
|
Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go
|
But I'm losing all control
|
Can't you see me? I'm slipping away
|
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here
|
|
It is written in the book
|
|
Oh so many times since I've read those words
|
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
