Behind The Lines Lyrics by Genesis

Behind The Lines Lyrics

    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?
