Anthony Edwin "Ant" Phillips (b. 23 December 1951, Chiswick, west London) is an English multi instrumentalist, first known as a founding member of the band Genesis. He played guitar and sang backing vocals until leaving in 1970, following the recording of their second album, Trespass. He left due to suffering from stage fright, after being told by his doctor that the best thing would be to leave the band. He is known for his twelve string guitar work, and his influence can be heard throughout Genesis's early output. more »

I saw you today
And, through the distant years,
It all came back.
 
Two people, young and sheltered,
So unwary of the snares
We now know well.
 
You're now a woman
But still brown and very beautiful,
You haven't changed.
 
She took your place - oh, what a face,
Didn't think I needed you
But I was wrong.
 
She came and she went out
Upon a voyage, it seems
She's never coming back
 
For now you both are gone
It seems so long ago I was a
Happy man.
 
I saw you today
It didn't seem as if
You're coming back.
 
I saw myself today
It didn't seem as if
I'm coming back.
 
And lo upon the hills
I see a shadow pass
To the other side - 
We must accept these things.
 
Oh, how I love you.
Oh, how I love you.
