Genesis - Domino lyrics

Your rating:
The grey of evening fills the room, there's no need
To look outside, to see or feel the rain
Then I reach across to touch her
But I know that shes not there
Rain keeps running down the window pane
Time is running out for me.

Can't you see what you are doing to me? 
Can't you see what you have done? 
As I try to pass another long and sleepless night
A hundred crazy voices call my name
As I try to pass them by
I almost can believe that she is here
Here in the glow of the night.

Do you know what you have done? 
Do you know what you've begun? 
Do you see we shall never be together again? 
All of my life.

Lonely people, empty rooms
Another pointless violence, silent tombs
Could it be that we shall be together again? 

Sheets of double glazing help 
To keep outside the night
Only foreign city sirens can cut through
Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold
But they can't keep out the chilling sounds
Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming 
That she is here with me?
Here in the glow of the night.

Do you know what you have done? 
Do you know what you’ve begun? 
Do you see we shall never be together again? 
All of my life.

To the lonely people, empty rooms
Another pointless violence, silent tombs
Could it be that we shall be together again (2x)?

In silence and darkness
We held each other near that night
We prayed it would last forever.

Blood on windows
Millions of ordinary people are there
They gaze at the scenery
They act as if it is perfectly clear
Take a look at the mountains
Take a look at the beautiful river of blood.

The liquid surrounds me
I fight to rise from this river of hell
I stare round about me
Children are swimming and playing with boats
Their features are changing
Their bodies dissolve and I am alone.

Now see what you've gone and done (2x).

Well, now you never did see such a terrible thing
As you seen last night on TV
Maybe if were lucky, they will show it again
Such a terrible thing to see, oh
But there's nothing you can do 
When you're next in line
She's got to go domino.

Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine
I know just what I gotta do
Play the game of happiness and never let on
That it only lives on in a song, oh
Well there's nothing you can do when youre next in line
She's got to go domino.

Do you know what you have done? 
Do you know what you've begun? 

In silence and darkness
Hold each other near tonight
For will it last forever? 
Will it last forever, forever.

There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line
She's got to go domino.

Do you know, do you know
Do you know what you have done?
Do you see what you've begun? 
'Cause there's nothing, nothing, nothing
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do
Do you see, do you see what you have done?
