PETER GABRIEL - Blood Of Eden lyrics

rate me

I caught sight of my reflection<br>I caught it in the window<br>I saw the darkness in my heart<br>I saw the signs of my undoing<br>They had been there from the start<br>And the darkness still has work to do<br>The knotted chord's untying<br>They're heated and they're holy<br>Oh they're sitting there on high<br>So secure with everything they're buying<br><br>{chorus:}<br>In the blood of eden<br>Lie the woman and the man<br>With the man in the woman<br>And the woman in the man<br>In the blood of eden<br>Lie the woman and the man<br>We wanted the union<br>Oh the union of the woman<br>The woman and the man<br><br>My grip is surely slipping<br>I think I've lost my hold<br>Yes, I think I've lost my hold<br>I cannot get insurance anymore<br>They don't take credit, only gold<br>Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see<br>You hold so tightly in your hand<br>And all the while the distance grows between you and me<br>I do not understand<br><br>[chorus]<br><br>At my request, you take me in<br>In that tenderness, I am floating away<br>No certainty, nothing to rely on<br>Holding still for a moment<br>What a moment this is<br>Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss<br>Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy<br><br>I can hear the distant thunder<br>Of a million unheard souls<br>Of a million unheard souls<br>Watch each one reach for creature comfort<br>For the filling of their holes<br><br>In the blood of eden<br>Lie the woman and the man<br>With the man in the woman<br>And the woman in the man<br>In the blood of eden<br>We wanted the union<br>Of the woman and the man<br><br>In the blood of eden<br>Lie the woman and the man<br>I feel the man in the woman<br>And the woman in the man<br><br>In the blood of eden<br>Lie the woman and the man<br>I feel the man in the woman<br>And the woman in the man<br><br>In the blood of eden<br>We've done everything we can<br>In the blood of eden<br>Saw the end as we began<br>With the man in the woman<br>And the woman in the man<br>It was all for the union<br>Oh, the union of the woman, the woman and the man.<br><br>[extra lyrics from the film mix]<br><br>The blood of eden keeps running through me<br>Running through my veins<br>The blood of eden keeps rushing through me<br>When I'm sure there's none that remains<br>The blood of eden keeps running through me<br>I can feel it in my bones<br>That blood of eden keeps rushing through me<br>Taking back what it owns
