Afterglow

Just when the days start getting colder,
I walk the streets I never knew.
There's some words I never told you.
The sound rings out like the truth.


As I sit here in this dark room, all I seem to feel is light.
I see color, I see the maroon in the blood of this life...
That's ours.

Watch the sun it paints an orange sky.
Lay me down and feel the days gone by.

Just when the days start getting longer,
I walk the streets I never knew...
The sun comes out for you.

And if you could see what's come over me,
then you would know.
'Cause I'm walking free.
The wind at my back, bathed in afterglow.
