Behind The Lines - Lyrics by Phil Collins


Lyrics
I held the book so tightly in my hands,
\r
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
\r
It was strange I could not look away
\r
I had to be there, I wanted to go
\r

\r
You gave me no reason
\r
you gave me no warning
\r
But I was with you,
\r
by your side
\r
Give me the strength, so I can help you
\r
And I can be strong now, they don't frighten me
\r

\r
It's written in the book
\r

\r
The sun is hotter than before
\r
But inside it's cold, I wonder why
\r
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
\r
Well I believe we can make it right
\r

\r
It's time now
\r
to show our feelings
\r
Looking through you
\r
your heart's empty
\r
Whatever happened to you, you can't change it,
\r
Nowhere to run to, please, oh please don't let me down
\r

\r
But wait a minute I don't understand
\r
it's getting stronger, hold my hand
\r
Don't want to leave you I don't want to go
\r
But I'm a' losing all control
\r
Can't you see me I'm slipping away
\r
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here
\r
Oh Lord
\r

\r
It's written in the book
\r

\r
I held the book so tightly in my hands
\r
Saw your picture, heard you call my name
\r
Oh, and even though we never, never touched
\r
I keep waiting for you just the same
\r

\r
La la la la la la la la la la la
\r
La la la la la la la la la la la...
\r
\r
