Afterglow

Just when the days start getting colder
I walk the streets I never knew
And theres some words I never told you
The sound rings out like the truth
And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow
And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color
I see the maroon
In the blood of this life that's ours
And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after--
Watch the sun, it paints an orange sky
Lay me down, and feel the day has gone by
Just when the day
Just when the day
Oh, oh
Just when the days start getting longer
I walk the streets I never knew
And the sun comes out for you
And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after--
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow, oh, oh
