Song in the Afternoon

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

In the afternoon

Sitting on a carpet

Sipping cold tea from a spoon

Waiting for a darkness

And the meaning of the rain

That I tried to explain

And the distant train

And the busted main

Cause I got a little song and dance right here

I don't wanna go, no, no

Here we go, turn that corner

Here we go, lift that seam

Here we go baby, here we go now

I gotta get away from all your dreams

Now here we go

Here we go, here we go

In the afternoon

I'm lying in a stupor

Dripping then jewelled by the silvery moon

Swearing like a trooper

And the forgotten drone

When you leave me alone

And the sobs and the moans

When you have a few colds

Cause I got a little show biz routine right here

I don't wanna go, no, no, no

But here we go, turn that corner

Here we go, lift that seam

Here we go baby, here we go now

I gotta get away from all your dreams

Here we go

Here we go

Here we go, here we go

Here we go

Here we go (ah, yeah)

Here we go (ah, yeah)

Here we go (ah, baby)
