GENESIS - Harlequin lyrics

rate me

Came the night a mist dissolved the trees

And in the broken light colours flyfading by.

Pale and cold as figures fill the glade

Grey is the web they spinon and onand on and on.

Through the flame still summer lingers on

Though her pictures soon shatter.

Allalways the same.

But there appears in the shades of dawning

Though your eyes are dim

All of the pieces in the sky.

There was once a harvest in this land.

Reap from the turquoise skyharlequinharlequin

Dancing roundthree children fill the glade

Theirs was the laughter in the winding streamand in between.

Close your doorthe picture fades again

From the flames in the firelight.

Allalways the same

But there appears in the shades of dawning

Though your eyes are dim

All of the pieces in the sky.

Allall is not lost

And light appears in the shades of dawning

When your eyes can see

Order the piecesput them backput them back.
