Текст песни Steve Hackett and Genesis, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford - Harlequin (2008 Digital Remaster) (Nursery Cryme 1971)

Came the night a mist dissolved the trees
And in the broken light colors fly, fading by

Pale and cold as figures fill the glade
Grey is the web they spin, on and on, and on and on

Through the flame still summer lingers on
Though her pictures soon shatter

All, all always the same
But there appears in the shades of dawning
Though your eyes are dim
All of the pieces in the sky

There was once a harvest in this land
Reap from the turquoise sky, harlequin, harlequin

Dancing round, three children fill the glade
Theirs was the laughter in the winding stream, and in between

Close your door, the picture fades again
From the flames in the firelight

All, all always the same
But there appears in the shades of dawning
Though your eyes are dim
All of the pieces in the sky

All, all is not lost
And light appears in the shades of dawning
When your eyes can see
Order the pieces, put them back, put them back
