Afterwards Lyrics

Afterwards 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.
