Heathaze — текст песни (Genesis)

No cloud, a sleepy calm
Sunbaked earth that`s cooled by gentle breeze
And trees with rustling leaves
Only endless days without a care
Nothing must be done

Silent as a day can be
Far off sounds of others on their chosen run
As they do all those things they feel give life some meaning
Even if they`re dull

Time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the real world
As revealed by orange lights and a smoky atmosphere

The trees and I are shaken by the same winds but whereas
The trees will lose their withered leaves
I just can`t seem to let them loose
And they can`t refresh me those hot winds of the south
Feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place

Now the light id fading fast
Chances slip away, a time will come to pass
When there`ll be none
Then addicted to a perfumed poison
Betrayed by its aftertaste
We shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return
Many are the substitutes but they`re powerless an their own

Beware the fisherman who`s casting out his line
Into a dried up river bed
But don`t try to tell him cos he won`t believe you
Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it`s easier that way
Feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place
