[edit]
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.
And all that's left of 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 mem'ries 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.
Till all that's left to see are aftertones.
And no one knows where meaning goes.
But I remember chains of melody.
It pleases me.

And, ooo, I like the sound
Of harmony from time to time.
I really do believe
In some kind of tomorrow
When it speaks to me.
Instrumental to end.
