It can be strange
In the world we live in So many things are not how they appear
We sit and talk
Of what it doesn’t matter
The meaning of the words we use
hides behind the sound
Yet still it takes me by surprise
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
With thoughts which even now I can’t control
How simple words and gestures
make the world seem right
No matter what they say
No matter what they say
It’s hard to believe
That once we met as strangers
Not knowing of the life that we would share
You lead me on Through new ways unfamiliar
Or down a road we travelled many times before
Yet still it takes me by surprise
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
With thoughts which even now I can’t control
How simple words and gestures
make the world seem right
No matter what they say
No matter what they say
The years go by Older yet no wiser
Our hearts and minds remain as they once were
And after all the time
That we have been together
So many times we must have been this way before
Yet still it takes me by surprise
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
With thoughts which even now I can’t control
How simple words and gestures
Make the world seem right
No matter what they say
No matter what they say
I never get tired of this song. When I first bought "Still" back in the early 90`s, this song was my favorite on this album, and still is. Andy Taylor is a great singer, and he really put a lot of emotion into this. "The gift" also. It would be awesome to hear Tony banks with a few more songs with Andy. A great combo.
I agree with you, Phil Lonsdale!!! Tony Banks is a genius. What had Genesis been without him, and his beautiful keyboardswork. He is a fantastic and symphatic musician !!!!
To BanksianCentral. I also agree with you when we talk about Tony Banks! This is beautiful music. He should sell more than Phil Collins, is my opimion. He is a genious behind the keys !!! Music from heaven is this!!! I love this song !!!
