Aftertones |
| Sometimes it’s all too much to say aloud |
| The sound’s a shroud |
| The meanings crowd |
| Sometimes the words are painful to the ear |
| They disappear and nothing’s clear |
| ‘Til all that’s left to me are aftertones |
| I take them home |
| We live alone |
| But I remember chains of melody |
| It pleases me — this song’s for free |
| Within the memories of our life gone by |
| Afraid to die, we learn to lie |
| And measure out the time in coffee spoons |
| In fading suns and dying moons |
| ‘Til all that’s left to see are aftertones |
| And no one knows |
| Where meaning goes |
| But i remember chains of melody |
| It pleases me — this song’s for free |
| And ooh, I like the sound |
| Of harmony from time to time |
| I really do believe |
| In some kind of tomorrow |
| When it speaks to me |
