Duchess by Genesis
Duchess lyrics
Songwriters: Collins, Phil; Banks, Anthony; Rutherford, Michael;
Times were good
But she never thought about the future
She just did what she would
Oh but she really cared about her music
But it only all seemed so important then
And she dreamed of the time when she performed
When everyone would cry for more
That all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone would start to roar
And on the road
Where all but a few fall by the wayside
On the grassier verge, she battled through
Against the others in her world
And the sleep and the odds
But now every time that she performed
When everyone cried for more
Soon all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar and all the children cried
You're the one we've waited for, oh, oh, oh
Ooh but time went by
And things wasn't so easy now, all uphill
And not feeling so strong, yes times were hard
There was too much thinking 'bout the future
And what people might want
Then there was the time that she performed
When nobody called for more
Soon every single time she stepped into the light
Well they really let her know the score
But she dreamed of the times when she sang her songs
And, and everyone cried for more
When all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar and all the children cried
You're the one we've waited for, oh
