(Tony Banks/Phil Collins/Mike Rutherford)
I held the book so tightly in my hands,
I saw your picture, heard you call my name

There was something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go


You gave me no warning
You gave no reason
But I was with you

Right by your side
Just give me the strength, and I will help you
And they can try their hardest, cos they don't frighten me


It is written in the book


It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold, and I
don't know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm

Then I really believe, you could make it right

Ooh the time has come now

We must show our feelings
But I'm looking right through you
And your heart is empty


Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now
There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide

Ah you let me down!

...but wait a minute, I don't understand

It's getting stronger, so grab my hand
Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go
But I'm losing all control

Can't you see me? I'm slipping away
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here


It is written in the book

Oh so many times since I've read those words

Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
