Peter Gabriel Quotes

I could see the city light.

Kiss it better, kiss it better.

In your eyes,
The light, the heat.
In your eyes, I am complete.
In your eyes,
I see the doorway to a thousand churches.
In your eyes,
The resolution of all the fruitless searches.<p>In your eyes,

In your eyes,
Oh, I want to be that complete.
I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes.

We do what we're told,
Told to do.

If you'd just lay down your tracks.
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back.<p>All you do is call me.

From the pain come the dream.
From the dream come the vision.
From the vision come the people.
From the people come the power.
From this power come the change.
