Peter Gabriel - Olive Tree (Dark-Side Mix) lyrics
[Peter Gabriel - Olive Tree Dark-Side Mix lyrics]
In the misty silvered night
My eyes fall to the ground
I can feel it come alive
In the seeds pushing out through the soil
New life weaves it's way out through the coil
Nothing’s going to hold this movement down
I was apart from it, my head in the sky
With no ears to listen
No light reached my eye
There rose the fungi, still tied to it's past
For the melting of the solid world
The changes coming fast
And it’s, Ho oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
It's all waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight warming my back
Warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing every cell to life
Making all connections live
From one point to another
And we’re all here, just the same
Trying to make some sense of it
Where I’m going now how it fit's together
In the bigger shape of things
And I slide into the waves
Leaving land behind
It's another world I’m entering now
There’s the shark pushing through
The swaying reeds
Predator and prey sort out their needs
Nothing’s going to hold this pattern down
I was apart from it in a world of our own
We'd lost all connection
To the place from which we’d grown
But here in this helmet
I can read other minds
And scan all the thinking
All the juice I can find
And it’s, Ho oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
It's all waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight warming my back
Warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing every cell to life
Making all connections live
From one point to another
And we’re all here, just the same
Trying to make some sense of it
Where I’m going now how it fit's together
In the bigger shape of things
Water falls on me it's waking up the world
Water falls on us falling from the head
Falling from the head falling from the head
Ho oh! Ho oh!
Ho oh! I’ve got the water falling on me
I’ve got the sunlight warming my back
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
I’ve got the water falling on me
Water falling on me
My eyes fall to the ground
I can feel it come alive
In the seeds pushing out through the soil
New life weaves it's way out through the coil
Nothing’s going to hold this movement down
I was apart from it, my head in the sky
With no ears to listen
No light reached my eye
There rose the fungi, still tied to it's past
For the melting of the solid world
The changes coming fast
And it’s, Ho oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
It's all waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight warming my back
Warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing every cell to life
Making all connections live
From one point to another
And we’re all here, just the same
Trying to make some sense of it
Where I’m going now how it fit's together
In the bigger shape of things
And I slide into the waves
Leaving land behind
It's another world I’m entering now
There’s the shark pushing through
The swaying reeds
Predator and prey sort out their needs
Nothing’s going to hold this pattern down
I was apart from it in a world of our own
We'd lost all connection
To the place from which we’d grown

I’ve got the sunlight warming my back
Warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing every cell to life
Making all connections live
From one point to another
And we’re all here, just the same
Trying to make some sense of it
Where I’m going now how it fit's together
In the bigger shape of things
Water falls on me it's waking up the world
Water falls on us falling from the head
Falling from the head falling from the head
Ho oh! Ho oh!
Ho oh! I’ve got the water falling on me
I’ve got the sunlight warming my back
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
I’ve got the water falling on me
Water falling on me
