Duchess Songtext

von Genesis

Times were good
She never thought about the future
She just did what she would
But she really cared about her music
It all seemed so important then

And she dreamed that every time that she performed
Everyone would cry for more
That all she had to do was step into the light
And everyone would start to roar

And on the road
Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge
She battled through
Against the others in her world
And the sleep, and the odds

But now everytime that she performed
Everybody cride for more
Soon all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar
And the people cried, you're the one we've waited for

But time went by
It wasn't so easy now
All uphill, and not feeling so strong
Yes times were hard
Too much thinking 'bout the future
And what people might want

And then there was the time that she performed
When nobody called for more
And soon everytime she stepped into the light
They really let her know the score

But she dreamed of the times when she sang her songs
And everybody cried for more
When all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for
