how beautiful. this ranks right up there with "Red Rain" and "Mercy Street" as being one of peter gabriel's best kept secrets.
a modest song about a fail relationship, which seems to be a recurring theme throughout this album. it would almost appear that the narrator is reaching, even longing, for simplicity in the already failed relationship. he may even be seeking love in it's purest form when Creation still was very new, the legacy of the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden for defying God's only request. it seems possible the narrator could have royally screwed up that led to the split.
he appears to be brooding over his regrets. and just as i am sure adam and eve wished they could have gone back and corrected their severe error in judgement, so the narrator wishes the same thing.
