Lyrics
Phil Collins
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lady of the forest, take me to the river
Pluck me from my warm nest, down to the river
Baby of the water, I long for my mother’s arms
Angel of disorder, I long for a lover’s charms
Send my voice into the heavens and my heart into the black earth
But I’ll not forfeit all my love ’cause I know you’re up above somewhere
Curse me with your brimstone, curse me with your fire
It’s not a book, it’s not a throne, it is you whom I require
Oh the torture and the pain, and the sight of you standing there
But I’ll not forfeit all my love ’cause I know you’re up above somewhere
Heathen child of fire, conquer my desire
Be the word out on the streets, be the words that I admire
Be the song down from the heavens and the rumble of the black earth
But I’ll not forfeit all my love ’cause I know you’re up above somewhere
