Time of the turning Songtext

von Peter Gabriel

The tíme of the turning

In the big house where the sun lives with the walls so white and blue
In the red soil all the green grows and the wind blows across your face
They blow across your heart
It's the time of the turning and there's something stirring outside
It's the time of the turning and we?d better learn to say our goodbyes.
All the earth breaks like a stale bread and the seeds are folded in the soil
Oh the sun pours then the rain falls while the roots reach right
Out through the ground
It's the time of the turning and there's something stirring outside
It's the time of the turning and the old world's falling
Nothing you can do to stop the next emerging
Time of the turning and we?d better learn to say our goodbyes.
If we can stand up when all else falls down .We'll last through the winter.
We'll last through the storms?we'll last trough the north winds
That bring down the ice and snow we'll last trough the long nights
'til the green field's growing again. Growing again
