Afterlight

You did what you wanted

Left my attic haunted

Twenty-five to life

An American lady

Who's often left me waiting

In the glow of the afterlight

Show me your taillights, baby

I won't be a baby tonight

But when you want to give me a try, I

A hotel room in Portland

The place is not important

I don't know, don't ask me why

I'm trying to feel better

And feeling so whatever

But nothing comes to mind

I'm seeing the Sun through the window

But never stepping into the light

But when you want to give me a try, I

I have found a family wherever I've tried

People who still love you when there's something to hide

And you can't say we're satisfied

Watch the moonlight

But tonight

I'll leave the side door open

And fall asleep still hoping

And dream about it all

A city between mountains

The flooding and the fountains

We're headed west to stop the fall

I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world

And you sprang to my mind

Baby, come on and give me a try

I have conquered planets and lakes, come alive

I have seen the stars in the Nicaragua sky

You are only human and yet so divine, I
