Peter Gabriel - White Shadow Lyrics
Ten coaches roll into the dust, chrome windows turned to rust.
Hang on inside, they know they must, hanging on the green-backed words
"In God We Trust."
No one knows if the spirit died, all wrapped to go like Kentucky Fried,
Trying to read the flight of birds, low on fuel, getting low on words.
And she comes out like a white shadow,
She comes out like a white shadow.
Each one drawn to empty spaces, outsiders, borderline cases.
It's hard to tell black from white when you wake up in the middle of the
night.
Weighted down by the absence of sound, broken now by the cry of a hound,
Looking for movement within the haze, light can be deceptive with her rays.
And she comes out like a white shadow,
She comes out like a white shadow.

Peter Gabriel White Shadow Comments
Fripp and Tony. Excellent..
Oh the Lyrics, the lyrics, the lyrics. To die for
Chiudi gli occhi e vola via...sull ombra bianca..
Best track on the album. Had it on vinyl. Well all my records were. Even had DIY single which he said at a gig of his.'thanks to all 42 people who bought it'. I shouted me.me.me
The intro is German Wehr sirens... Kranken, Feuer, Polizei...
He looks like actor Sam Neill on album cover.Love this song also.
Great bass from Tony Levin, his distinct style the way he digs in.
15 yrs old at this concert. i really thought we were being busted by cops with flood lights, was just the band lol.
This album and “Up” share a similar feel
This, a cigar and a fine cognac.
Fripp ftw
For the win
I see the direction he wanted to go in an im not mad at him at all....
Stunning!!! I love his older albums, especially this one, number 2.
Rough time in my life but still love this track.
On the original vinyl album, the last note is held so long that the needle falls off the album.
I'm a deadhead. Like a fucking deadhead. Like Garcia is my God. But heaven bows to Gabriel. He's fucking amazing. This is one of my favorite albums ever. This is so great. Long life Gabriel. Om mani padme hung.
...and the last chords of this song anticipate the future ''Wallflower''...
Agreed. So not given credit. Sweeeeeet!!!
Grazie Peter per questi miracoli
Sick. Love his imagination
Sounds like Alex Harvey to me.
It makes me sad to think that only about 40,000 people have clicked on this. when I first heard this I was so moved by the beauty of it. I actually went out a few years ago to get his 4 first solo albums on c.d. for the better sound compared to my vinyl.
Paul Horatio sorry but I'd still rather have the vinyl any day much better sound improve your amp or speakers that would definitely make you re appreciate the quality of the vinyl sounds...
I do think my Genesis "Selling England By The Pound" album sounds a little better than the c.d. but, I like the convenience of being able to program my c.d. player.
A simply superb track this from Peter's 2nd album. One of my favourites on there! :o) :o)
Fripp's guitar solo is amazing, like a magic!
Fripp rules
Recuerdos de mis maestros musicales..Wicho y Mito..Gracias por enseñarme a apreciar a estos grandes músicos
Marco mi vida para siempre ..Peter es un genio
White shadow.
Sacré Pêcheur
EatSomePies are you from Wigan...??
an eerily gorgeous masterpiece from the maestro!
Feels a bit like the Lamb.
waveoflight with mint sauce :)
Jim Smith does it have to do with the song? i mean, with the lyrics of the song?
CDHW yes lol
MATT ROGERZ the lamb lies down
He can create music that touches life's unspoken and inherent mysteries. May sound like a pretentious statement, but nonetheless true for me.
i agree - when peter gabriel hits he hits it.
"all wrapped to go, like Kentucky fried"
👍🏻
Two non believers!
Fripp's soaring guitar during the coda is still amazing and searing after all these years.
Sublime.
Fripp, say no more
the vinyl version of this record has a locked groove at the end of this song, probably so it can continue forever
I miss that on the CD.
Mine would continue for a while and then the needle would drop right off the album.
Great Peter Gabriel... and nobody says about Robert Fripp and his wonderful guitar, acoustic and frippertonics.
+Gonzalo Rosas One of my very first albums. I was born 4 days after my mother attended a Steve Hackett show. I had this record on my own plastic red record player along with "Selling England", "Trick of the Tail" and "Please don't Touch" and this album by Peter Gabriel when I was 5 years old. I actually traced the white lettering of this album (sorry Peter) because I wanted to write and didn't know how yet :)
The second album is often overlooked, it has a unique mood.
+Gonzalo Rosas ....love it !
+Gonzalo Rosas .....love ROBERT too. will see him live here in Berlin with his KING CRIMSON at the end of years at "Admiralspalast" :.....can´t wait for that.
I think Levin's bass is super.
Peter Gabriel always had THE best musicians around him! :-)
And she comes out like a white shadow.
I wonder if he still had Lilywhite Lilith in mind.
only 5000 hits!!!! Fripp is awesome.
he is out of this world. incredible .
+muzquiz sebastian ...unbelievable !
