Hackett, Steve - Emerald And Ash Lyrics
Sugarplum fairies on parade
The smiling dolls wield the sharpest blade
Candyfloss pink the sequins whirl
Beneath a serpent ready to uncurl
Roulette wheel the colours were entwined
Black and white Russians were prepared
She staked her claim to the lions share
Dressed in velvet in the limelight
She beckoned me from marble stairs
Long ago with all the dreamers
I fell into her emerald spell
A thousand silver songs that filled the air
I should have understood
The queen of hearts
Played to win right from the start
Dressed in velvet in the limelight
She beckoned me from marble stairs
Long ago with all the dreamers
I fell into her emerald spell
The dice were loaded, knew I was ensnared
Fingers turned to talons in my hair
A rusted door inside a golden cage
A broken chord, a bird that flew away
Dressed in velvet in the limelight
She beckoned me from marble stairs
Long ago with all the dreamers
I fell into her emerald spell

Hackett, Steve Emerald And Ash Comments
What about this piece which, despite a rocky takeoff maybe a little destabilizing, is revealed as being the hidden wonder of the album, the one where the sensitivity of Steve is best expressed (with "Sleepers") And it is not It is no coincidence that Steve has invited as a session musician the genius Anthony Phillips, the first Genesis guitarist from 1966 to 1970, realizing the dream of many fans to whom I belong, to see these two men collaborate ..... :-)
Watching this on the Fire and Ice DVD... Quite simply breathtaking.
Cet album est aussi génial que The Lamb ...
one of my all time favorite steve hackett songs. just beautiful music
Can hardly believe I've heard this song only once... and that over four years ago. It's main parts seem so familiar (This is, nearly, the only S H album don't own). Somehow it bore in.
Guess maybe I HAVEN'T been drinking too much after all!
Like they say, if you (don't even)have to ask...
Finally!!! Ant and Steve Together!!!!!!!
Absolutely. And they sound fantastic together.
such a great song. steve is a genius. love him singing too.
That one vocal part, with the picked chords, sounds like nostalgia and the certainty of an easier, surer time.
