Indigo

Peter Gabriel · Revisited [1992]

It's too late

This model's out of date

Got every spare part

But there ain't much heart inside here

Not like the start

I was good at the art of survival

I've always tried

To keep my troubles deep inside

Where I can hide them

now I'm open wide



When it ends

Again I'll see my friends

They'll give me a lift

I've been running adrift, so easy

Shifting the gear

I got nothing to fear from the showdown

I'll go down quiet

And kids downstairs making a hell of a din

I'm all alone

Getting a quote for the wages of sin



Beyond the indigo, indigo

Where the chilly winds, winds will blow

My time is running low

Going to cross the dark dark river

Going to see my good life-giver

Better cover my yellow liver



Alright,

I'm giving up the fight

I didn't know when

I'd be a stranger again

In my own land

The days are O.K.

But oh how I hate those long nights

You understand

Darling please, just hold my hand

You feel so warm

In the eye of the storm

I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away

See you again someday

Darling, I'm going away

Feel like I'm going away, this time I'm going away
