Genesis - Stagnation lyrics

Here today the red sky tells his tale
But the only listening eyes are mine
There is peace amongst the hills
And the night will cover all my pride
Blest are they who smile from bodies free
Seems to me like any other crowd
Who are waiting to be saved

Wait, there still is time for
Washing in the pool wash away the past
Moon, my long-lost friend
Is smiling from above smiling at my tears
Come, we'll walk the path to
Take us to my home keep outside the night
The ice-cold knife has come
To decorate the dead somehow

And each will find a home
And there will still be time
For loving, my friend you are there

And will I wait for ever
Beside the silent mirror
And fish for bitter minnows amongst
The weeds and slimy water?

Said I want to sit down
Said I want to sit down
I want a drink, I want a drink
To take all the dust and
The dirt from my throat
I want a drink, I want a drink
To wash out the filth that is deep in my guts
I want a drink

Then let us drink then let us smile
Then let us go
