Send "Afterwards" Ringtone to your Cell
Van Der Graaf GeneratorAfterwards Lyrics:
You stare out in yellow eyes larger than my mind;
in viscous pools of joy, relaxing, we glide...
it's all too beautiful
for my mind to bear.
and, as we shimmer into sleep, something's unshared.
But, seeing the flower that was there yesterday,
a tear forms just behind the soft
peace of your shades...
The world's too lonely
for a message to slip
but between the dying rails of peace
you trip.
The petals that were blooming are
just paper in your hand;
your eyes, which were clear in the
night, are opaque as you stand...
It was too beautiful
for it to last...
These visions shimmer and fade out of
the glass.
