Olive Tree (Dark-Side Mix) lyrics
by Peter Gabriel
[Verse 1]
In the misty silvered night
My eyes fall to the ground
I can feel it come alive
In the seeds pushing out through the soil
New life weaves its way out through the coil
Nothing’s going to hold this movement down
[Pre-Chorus]
I was apart from it, my head in the sky
With no ears to listen, no light reached my eye
There rose the fungi, still tied to its past
For the melting of the solid world the changes coming fast
[Chorus]
And it’s
Ho oh, I’ve got the water falling on me, it's all waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight warming my back, warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing every cell to life, making all connections live
From one point to another and we’re all here, just the same
Trying to make some sense of it, where I’m going now
How it fits together in the bigger shape of things
[Verse 2]
And I slide into the waves, leaving land behind
It's another world I’m entering now
There’s the shark pushing through the swaying reeds
Predator and prey sort out their needs
Nothing’s going to hold this pattern down
[Pre-Chorus]
I was apart from it in a world of our own
We'd lost all connection to the place from which we’d grown
But here in this helmet, I can read other minds
And scan all the thinking, all the juice I can find
[Chorus]
And it’s
Ho oh, I’ve got the water falling on me, it's all waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight warming my back, warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing every cell to life, making all connections live
From one point to another and we’re all here, just the same
Trying to make some sense of it, where I’m going now
How it fits together in the bigger shape of things
[Bridge]
Water falls on me
It's waking up the world
Water falls on us
Falling from the head
Falling from the head
Falling from the head
Ho oh
Ho oh
[Chorus]
Ho oh, I’ve got the water falling on me
I’ve got the sunlight warming my back
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
I’ve got the water falling on me
Water falling on me
