Written by Tony Banks/Peter Gabriel/Anthony Phillips/Mike Rutherford LYRICS: The silent sun that never shines She is the warmth of my lonely heart The motion of a turning wheel Can’t you stop it and look around? Baby you feel so close I wish you could see my love Baby you’ve changed my life I’m trying to show A tiny stone that hides from me Can’t you see that I’m just outside? A mountain stream that chills the sea Can’t you feel in your useless pride? Baby you feel so close I wish you could see my love Baby you’ve changed my life I’m trying to show When night reveals a star-filled sky I want to hold it in my hands When snowflakes heal the ugly ground Your beauty hides the joy I’ve found Baby you feel so close I wish you could see my love Baby you
