Genesis - Twilight Alehouse Lyrics

Is it really true, what they're saying?
Are you really sure there's nobody come for me?
When I'm walking home there is no one
Once there was a house full of laughter, so warm
Trying to pretend there is someone
Someone who will care when I need it

I will now receive my comfort
Conjured by the magic power of wine

Just a drink, I'll get that drink and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink and I'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now I'm down

When I walk outside there is nowhere
Children follow me with their laughter so cold
Casting just a glance at the churchyard
Casting just a glance at my painted female friend
Now I'm on my way, I am falling
Got to find some help, oh I need that now

So I will receive my comfort
Conjured by the magic power of wine

Just a drink, I'll get that drink and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink and I'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now I'm down

I will now receive my comfort
Conjured by the magic power of wine

Just a drink, I'll get that drink and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink and I'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow now

  Just shows how brilliant early Genesis were - most bands would regard this epic as the highlight of their careers. Genesis gave it away free and didn't put it on any album. The downside is that millions have been deprived of a true gem - thankfully you can catch it on u-tube....
