The man steps out in the moonlight

At the sound of a scream from below.

He thinks he is a warrior

So he picks up his sword and goes.

From the mouth of the monster

He rescues the maiden fair.

But we know she's a demon

Come to lure him to demon's lair.

Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads

To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home.

"Come with me, I need you,

I fear the dark and I live all alone.

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after if you like."

And though his body bids him

To enter in with her,

There was something in her manner

That his mind could not ignore.

Also it is whispered

In the kingdom far and wide,

To beware a little cottage

In the forest in a glade.

For who knows what magic takes place in his world?

So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way.

"Come with me, I need you,

I fear the dark and I live all alone.

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after if you like.

Come to my garden,

Taste the fruits and the spices of love.

You can't resist me,

I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of."

"So glad you could make it

We had everything arranged.

So glad you saw fit to pay a call."

Some men never listen,

And others never learn,

But why this man did as he did

Only he will ever know.

He knew he was walking

Into a waiting trap,

Neatly set up for him

With a bait so richly wrapped.

So he went inside there to take on what he found

But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?

"Come with me, I need you,

I fear the dark and I live all alone.

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after if you like."

Love, love, love that little changeover in the middle - "Come to my garden, Taste the fruits and the spices of love.You can't resist me, I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of" - the melody, the reverb on Phil's voice, everything!

I once knew a woman like this. Yes, she was attractive but attractive women are everywhere. She just had this air about her that pulled EVERYONE in and she knew it and loved it. Thank God I recognized it. If she sees this comment, she'll know who I'm talking about and she'll laugh and say "who? little old me"?

ONe of the best songs of this good album, no doubt, it still a progressive rock one but it shows the transision to AOR (follow you follow me)

This ain't no lady. It is among the same temptations that the demon-incarnate uses to vanquish mortals. We are mostly helpless over it. It hurts even if we make it out alive. Or perhaps it is the personification of one's own internal struggles. It is what we all crave, for better or worse. Don't lose yourself.

The weakest song of the album (imho) but STILL a very good song (just to say how high is the album level... )

What?! This is not one of the last great songs from Genesis, even that Dawn And Out with that nice Medley I like more than this one. The last good song Genesis made was 14 Years later. Faiding Lights (We Can´t Dance 1991)
