Lyrics Peter Gabriel – Indigo

Text:

It’s too late, this model’s out of date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’ve got nothing to fear from a showdown
I’ll go down quiet
And the 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

All right, I’m giving up the fight
I didn’t know when I’d be a stranger again in my own land
The days are okay, but oh, how I hate these 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
