Lyrics of
In The Air Tonight

In the Air Tonight has often been the subject of various urban myths and legends regarding a drowning incident supposedly witnessed by Phil Collins. However, Collins has debunked these stories and explained that the song was written during a tumultuous period in his personal life, specifically referring to his divorce from his then-wife. The song reflects his feelings of anger and frustration at the time.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord 
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, when 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
But I was there and I saw what you did
Saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
Oh lord

Well, I remember
I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time and the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up
No, you don't fool me
For the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
Some stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
