The Magic Of Time
Anthony Phillips / Mike Rutherford / Peter Gabriel / Steve Hackett / Tony Banks
The magic of time that surrounded the world
In the mist and the cloud of new life
The seas had been filled and the air made clean
Awaiting the change on the ground
Sunlight in the daytime and the dew came at night
And the rain fell to dampen the earth
And the rain filled the rivers and the rivers the lakes
And the life on the ground did emerge
Rock is hidden by moss and flowers
The trees are clothed in green
The silent sun has fashioned the world
A stage for man to come
The magic of time that surrounded the world
In the mist and the cloud of new life
The seas had been filled and the air made clean
Awaiting the change on the ground
