The Time Of The Turning Lyrics - Peter Gabriel

In the big house 

Where the sun lives 

With the walls so white and blue 

In the red soil 

All the green grows 

And the winds blow across your face 

They blow across your heart 

It's the time of the turning and there's something stirring outside 

It's the time of turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes 

All the earth breaks 

Like a stale bread 

And the seeds are folded in the soil 

Oh the sun pours 

Then the rains fall 

While the roots reach out right through the ground 

They reach out through the ground

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

It's the time of turning and there's something stirring outside 

It's the time of turning and the old world's falling 

Nothing you can do can stop the next emerging 

Time of the turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes 

If we can stand up 

When all else falls down 

We'll last through the winter 

We'll last through the storms 

We'll last through the north winds 

That bring down the ice and snow 

We'll last through the long nights 

Till the green field's growing again 

Growing again
