Peter Gabriel & Sinéad O’Connor – Blood of Eden – 1992

    Paroles

    I caught sight of my reflection
    I caught it in the window
    I saw the darkness in my heart
    I saw the signs of my undoing
    They had been there from the start

    And the darkness still has work to do
    The knotted chord’s untying
    The heated and the holy
    Oh they’re sitting there on high
    So secure with everything they’re buying

    In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
    With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
    In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
    We wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

    My grip is surely slipping
    I think I’ve lost my hold
    Yes I think I’ve lost my hold
    I cannot get insurance any more
    They don’t take credit, only gold
    Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see

    You hold so tightly in your hand
    And all the while the distance grows between you and me
    I do not understandIn the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
    With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
    In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
    We wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

    At my request you take me in
    In that tenderness I am floating away
    No certainty, nothing to rely on
    Holding still for a moment
    What a moment this is
    Oh for a moment of forgetting

    A moment of bliss
    OhI can hear the distant thunder
    Of a million unheard souls
    Of a million unheard souls
    Watch each one reach for creature comfort

    For the filling of their holes

    In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
    I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man
    In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
    I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man

    In the blood of Eden we have done everything we can
    In the blood of Eden, so we end as we began
    With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
    It was all for the union, oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man
