Afterglow
|
(D. Wall, A. Whiteman)There's nothing here either one can say
|
Isn't nothing what you wanted, anyway?Nothing like a feeling that comes so fast
|
when you stumble on "nothing lasts"
|
but I stood & I waited for the love to increase
|
& it shocked me, baby, when the news was released,when you told me...
|
If you're living in somebody's afterglow
|
love is something that you'll have to see go
|
If you feel your ladder is much too tall
|
love is something that you'll have to let fall
|
Thought of leaving here to chance aloneInstead I waited for what I own
|
Outside my window it looks much too cold
|
to ever wander from the strength of my home
|
But you changed everything in your offhand way
|
You kept your silence & you let me behave so badly...Chorus
|
Something forced me to look in your face
|
It could have stripped us of all our graceBut I'm tired of talking to myself
|
It was worth all my heart-earned wealth
|
So I centre my mind on the task that's to come
|
to detach all I have from the solace of one who taught me...
