Firth Of Fifth

Steve Hackett

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth

It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more

And as the steam clings close to things to come

It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life



Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning

Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness

As water slips into the sea

The father's sad to see it free



As shadows creep towards their master night

It came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves

And as the peace descended all around

It came to pass that nature's creatures came to face the world



Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning

Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness

As water slips into the sea

The father's sad to see it free



Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning



Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion
