Genesis - Twilight Alehouse lyrics

Twilight Alehouse was released as a one-sided flexidisc in October 1973

(free with Zig Zag Magazine.) T.A was also released as a B-side to 'I Know

What I like' but only in France and Italy in Feruary 1974.

Is it really true what they're saying

Are you really sure there's nobody come for me

When I'm walking home there is no-one

Once there was a house, and the laughter so warm

Trying to pretend there is someone

Someone who will care when they're needed

I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power

Just a drink and I'm feeling good

Just a drink (I'll get that drink) and I'm feeling fine

Just a drink to take my sorrow

Just a drink and you can laugh tomorrow

Just a drink to make me feel like a man again...

Now I'm down

When I walk outside, there is nowhere

Children follow me, with their laughter so cold...

Passing just a glance at the churchyard

Casting just a glance, at my painted female friend

Now I'm on my way, I am falling

Got to find some help, I will need that now

So I will receive my comfort
