Driving The Last Spike(Live From Niedersachsenstadion,Germany/1992)

Driving The Last Spike (Live) - Genesis[00:00:00]

Composed by:Phil Collins/Tony Banks/Mike Rutherford[00:00:28]

Leaving my family behind me[00:00:57]

Not knowing what lay ahead[00:01:02]

Waving goodbye as I left them in tears[00:01:07]

Remembering all we'd said[00:01:12]

I looked to the sky I offered my prayers[00:01:16]

I asked him for guidance and strength[00:01:21]

But the simple beliefs of a simple man[00:01:26]

Lay in his hands and on my head[00:01:30]

My head[00:01:36]

I gave everything that they wanted[00:02:02]

But still they wanted more[00:02:07]

We sweat and we toiled[00:02:11]

Good men lost their lives[00:02:14]

I don't think they knew what for[00:02:16]

I sold them my heart[00:02:21]

I sold them my soul[00:02:23]

I gave everything I had[00:02:26]

Ah but they couldn't break my spirit[00:02:31]

My dignity fought back[00:02:35]

Fought back[00:02:40]

Just fought back[00:02:45]

Ah can you hear me[00:02:50]

Can you see[00:02:55]

Don't you hear me[00:03:00]

Don't you see[00:03:05]

We worked in gangs for all we were worth[00:03:19]

The young boys pulling the wagons[00:03:23]

We were digging the tunnel shifting the earth[00:03:28]

It was then that it happened[00:03:34]

No one knew how the cracks appeared[00:03:38]

But as it fell they all disappeared[00:03:43]

Stone fell like rain[00:03:48]

Can you hear me[00:03:50]

Can you see[00:03:55]

Don't you hear me[00:04:00]

Can can you breathe[00:04:04]

The smoke cleared the dust it settled[00:04:45]

No one knew how many had died[00:04:50]

All around there were broken men[00:04:55]

They'd said it was safe they'd lied[00:05:00]

You could hear the cries you could smell our fear[00:05:04]

But good fortune that day was mine[00:05:09]

And it occurred to me that the heart of a good man[00:05:14]

It seems is hard to find[00:05:19]

Ah can you hear me[00:05:23]

Can you see[00:05:28]

Don't you hear me[00:05:33]

Don't you see[00:05:38]

We worked how we worked like[00:06:10]

The devil for our pay[00:06:14]

Through the wind through the snow[00:06:20]

And through the rain[00:06:24]

Blasting and cutting through God's country like a knife[00:06:30]

With sweat stinging my eyes there has to be a better life[00:06:38]

But I can hear my children's cry[00:06:47]

I can see the tears in their eyes[00:06:52]

Memories of those I've left behind[00:06:56]

Still ringing in my ears[00:07:01]

Will I ever go back again[00:07:06]

Will I ever see her face again[00:07:10]

Cause I'll always remember the night[00:07:15]

As they waved goodbye to their fathers[00:07:19]

We came from the South[00:07:26]

And we came from the North[00:07:28]

With picks and with spades[00:07:30]

And a new kind of order[00:07:33]

Showing no fear of what lies up ahead[00:07:35]

They'll never see the likes of us again[00:07:40]

Driving the last spike[00:07:52]

Lifting and laying the track[00:07:54]

With blistering hands[00:08:01]

The sun burning your back[00:08:04]

But I can hear my children's cry[00:08:09]

I can see the tears in their eyes[00:08:13]

Oh the memories of those I've left behind[00:08:18]

They're still ringing in my ears[00:08:22]

Well I'll always remember that night[00:08:27]

As they waved goodbye to their fathers[00:08:31]

We followed the rail we slept under the stars[00:08:38]

Digging in darkness and living with danger[00:08:43]

Showing no fear of what lies up ahead[00:08:48]

They'll never see the likes of us again[00:08:52]

Ah can you hear me[00:09:38]

Can you see[00:09:43]

Don't you hear me[00:09:48]

Don't you see[00:09:53]
