Undertow

Genesis

1. The curtains are drawn now the fire warms the room
   Meanwhile, outside, wind from the north-east chills the air
   It will soon be snowing out there
   And some, there are, cold they prepare for a sleepless night
   Maybe this will be their last fight
   But we're safe in each other's embrace, all fears go as I look on your face

   Better think awhile or I may never think again
   If this were the last day of your life my friend
   Tell me what do you think you would do then
   
   Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you
   Make the most of all you still have coming to you
   Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you
   Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees
   
   Let me live again let life come find me wanting
   Spring must strike again against the shield of winter
   Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me
   Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again

2. Laughter and music and perfume linger here
   And there, and there, wine flows from flask to glass and mouth
   As it soothes confusing our doubts
   And soon, we feel, why do a single thing today
   There's tomorrow sure as I'm here
   So the days they turn into years, and still no tomorrow appears

   Better think awhile...
   
   Stand up to the blow...
   
   Let me live again...
