GENESIS - Duchess lyrics

rate me

Times were good

She never thought about the futureshe just did what she would

Oh but she really cared

About her musicit all seemed so important then

And she dreamed that every time that she performed

Everyone would cry for more

That all she had to do was step into the light

And everyone would start to roar.

And on the road

Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge

She battled through

Against the others in her worldand the sleepand the odds.

But now everytime that she performed

Oh everybody cried for more

Soon all she had to do was step into the light

For everyone to start to roar.

And all the people criedyou're the one we've waited for.

Oh but time went by

It wasn't so easy nowall uphilland not feeling so strong.

Yes times were hard

Too much thinking 'bout the future and what people might want.

An then there was the time that she performed

When nobody called for more

And soon everytime she stepped into the light

They really let her know the score.

But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs

And everybody cried for more

When all she had to do was step into the light

For everyone to start to roar.

And all the people criedyou're the one we've waited for.
