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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:36] My head

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:35] My dignity fought back

[00:02:40] Fought back

[00:02:45] Just fought back

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

[00:02:55] Can you see

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:48] Stone fell like rain

[00:03:50] Can you hear me

[00:03:55] Can you see

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

[00:04:04] Can can you breathe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:28] Can you see

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

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

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

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

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

[00:06:24] And through the rain

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:07:52] Driving the last spike

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

[00:08:01] With blistering hands

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:09:43] Can you see

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

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