Rivers flow uphill
Blue turns into grey
Winter follows springtime
Morning ends the day
Beyond the silver rainbow

If you're walking home beside her
And you know what time it is
And if you avoid the puddles in your way
You haven't been there either
To the land that lies
Beyond the silver rainbow

But if you're walking home beside her
And the sun should turn to blue
And you keep on going, 'cos you're unaware
Ooh, then you know that you are there

Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going
Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going
Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going

Ooh, if you're sitting there beside her
With your arms you hold her close
And you're wondering just how far she'll let you go
You haven't been there either
To the land that lies
Beyond the silver rainbow

But if you're sitting there beside her
And a bear comes in the room
And you keep on going 'cause you're unaware
Oo, then you know that you are there

Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going
Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going
Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going
Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going
Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going
Beyond the Silver Rainbow (Beyond the Silver Rainbow)
(You won't know) you won't know if you're coming or going

Genesis

Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in 1967. The most commercially successful line-up includes keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins. Other important members were singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The band underwent several significant changes in musical style over its career, from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.

Formed by five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis was named by former pupil Jonathan King who arranged them to record several unsuccessful singles and an album. After splitting with King, the group began touring professionally, signing with Charisma Records. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel’s theatrical costumes and performances.

Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with “Land of Confusion” and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band’s career. In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their biggest hit to date is Invisible Touch which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1.
