In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins cover) Lyrics
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Oh Lord
Well, I remember
I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time
The last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No, you don't fool me
This hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
No stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting in this moment for all of my life, all of my life, all of my life
All of my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord (oh Lord)
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Oh Lord
I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time
The last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No, you don't fool me
This hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
No stranger to you or me
Well, I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting in this moment for all of my life, all of my life, all of my life
All of my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord (oh Lord)

Maria's comments on the song (from Blabbermouth interview):
"Honestly, that's one of my all-time favorite songs, since I was a little girl. It's such a… Oh my God! It's just so haunting and powerful and dark and captivating. And I've been trying to cover that song forever; we just couldn't quite figure out where and when. So this time we just took a little attempt at it. It's a hard song to even attempt to cover, 'cause all by itself, it's so awesome and it's scary to try to do something to a song that's already perfect. So we just try to do our own individual expression of it, because I feel like you can't make theirs better. [It's] just a different version, a different take, our point of view, and I think it's a real special song on the album. I can't wait for everyone to hear it. It makes me feel all these different feelings."
