"Your Own Special Way" as written by and Michael Rutherford....
Go far enough and you will reach,
A place where the sea runs underneath.
And we'll see our shadow, high in the sky,
Drying away in the night.
I've sailed the world for seven years,
And left all I love behind in tears.
Won't you come here, wherever you are,
I've been alone long enough.
You, you have your own special way,
Of holding my hand keep it way 'bove the water,
Don't ever let go
Oh no, no, no.
You, you have your own special way,
Of turning the world so it's facing
The way, that I'm going, don't ever
Don't ever stop.
Whose seen the wind not you or I,
But when the ship moves she's passing by.
Between you and me I really don't think,
She knows where she's going at all.
You, you have your own special way,
Of carrying me twice round the world
Never closer to home than the day,
The day I started.
You, you have your own special way,
Hold onto my hand keep it way 'bove the water,
Don't ever let go
No, no, no.
What mean the dreams night after night.
The man in the moons' a blinding light.
Won't you come out whoever you are,
You've followed me quiet long enough.
You, you have your own special way,
Of holding my hand, don't ever let go.
You, you have your own special way,
Of turning the world so it's facing
The way that I'm going, don't ever,
Don't ever leave me.
A place where the sea runs underneath.
And we'll see our shadow, high in the sky,
Drying away in the night.
I've sailed the world for seven years,
And left all I love behind in tears.
Won't you come here, wherever you are,
I've been alone long enough.
You, you have your own special way,
Of holding my hand keep it way 'bove the water,
Don't ever let go
Oh no, no, no.
You, you have your own special way,
Of turning the world so it's facing
The way, that I'm going, don't ever
Don't ever stop.
Whose seen the wind not you or I,
But when the ship moves she's passing by.
Between you and me I really don't think,
She knows where she's going at all.
You, you have your own special way,
Of carrying me twice round the world
Never closer to home than the day,
The day I started.
You, you have your own special way,
Hold onto my hand keep it way 'bove the water,
Don't ever let go
No, no, no.
What mean the dreams night after night.
The man in the moons' a blinding light.
Won't you come out whoever you are,
You've followed me quiet long enough.
You, you have your own special way,
Of holding my hand, don't ever let go.
You, you have your own special way,
Of turning the world so it's facing
The way that I'm going, don't ever,
Don't ever leave me.

My favourite off the album. I think it is very emotional and something very rare and delicate in Genesis's catalouge. I think nagromai has it right. We didn't work out, but you're still a great person nonetheless.
"You, you have your own special way, Of turning the world so it's facing The way, that I'm going"
It's analogist to the wind and a sail ship...they need each other in a special way.
