Afterwards lyrics

by

Peter Hammill



[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
The petals that were blooming are just paper in your hand;
Your eyes, which wеre clear in the night, arе opaque as you stand
It was too beautiful for it to last…
These visions shimmer and fade out of the glass
