Text: Peter Gabriel. Altus Silva.
The moon it whispers
My own voice
That screamed just a day ago
Reminds me of when I still
Had the choice
That I could stay or I could go
Now I sit here and I
Smoke with you
New friend you're growing old
(chorus in Gaelic)
So if you see me
In the wind
Please think twice before you let me in
I only smile just to
Ease the pain
You think it's a smile brother I think it's a stain
(chorus in Gaelic)
Tomorrow will have trouble
Surprising me
Today he took all of his casualties
Yesterday left most of
My memory then
But today was not a day forgiven
My own voice
That screamed just a day ago
Reminds me of when I still
Had the choice
That I could stay or I could go
Now I sit here and I
Smoke with you
New friend you're growing old
(chorus in Gaelic)
So if you see me
In the wind
Please think twice before you let me in
I only smile just to
Ease the pain
You think it's a smile brother I think it's a stain
(chorus in Gaelic)
Tomorrow will have trouble
Surprising me
Today he took all of his casualties
Yesterday left most of
My memory then
But today was not a day forgiven
