Version 1 of the lyrics

1  Sometimes it's all too much to say aloud.   Sometimes it’s all too much                  1
2  The Sound's a shroud.   To say aloud          2
3  The meanings crowd.           The sound’s a shroud 3
4                          The meanings crowd 4
5  Sometimes the words are painful to the ear.   Sometimes the words                              5
6  They disappear and nothing's clear.   Are painful to the ear 6
7  And all that's left of me are aftertones.   They disappear when                                 7
8  I take them home.   nothing’s clear.              8
9  We live alone.   And that’s left 9
10                              To see are aftertones 10
11  But I remember chains of melody.        I take them home          11
12  It pleases me.   We live alone 12
13  This song's for free,   But I remember        13
14                        Chains of melody 14
15  Within the mem'ries of our life gone by,   It pleases me- -                       15
16  Afraid to die, we learn to lie.   This song’s for free.                  16
1  And measure out the time in coffee spoons.   1
17  In fading suns and dying moons.   Within the memories                     17
18  Till all that's left to see are aftertones.   Or our life gone by                        18
19  And no one knows where meaning goes.   Afraid to die                               19
20                        We learn to lie 20
21  But I remember chains of melody.   And measure out the time          21
22  It pleases me.   In coffee spoons 22
23  This song's for free.   In fading suns        23
24                        And dying moons. 24
25  And, ooo, I like the sound   ‘Til all that’s left             25
26  Of harmony from time to time.   To see are aftertones            26
1  And no one knows1
2  Where meaning goes2

9  Of harmony9
10  From time to time10
  I really do believe  I really do believe
  In some kind of tomorrow  In some kind of tomorrow
27  When it speaks to me.   When it speaks to me. 27
