Lyrics

0:32Sometimes it's all too much to say aloud
0:38The sound's a shroud
0:42The meanings crowd
0:46Sometimes the words are painful to the ear
0:53They disappear and nothing's clear
1:01Till all that's left to me are aftertones
1:07I take them home
1:11We live alone
1:15But I remember chains of melody
1:21It pleases me this song's for free
1:33Within the memories of our life gone by
1:39Afraid to die we learn to lie
1:47And measure out the time in coffee spoons
1:53In fading suns and dying moons
2:01Till all that's left to see are aftertones
2:07Don't gone over us
2:11Where meaning goes
2:15But I remember chains of melody
2:21It pleases me this song's for free
2:32And ooh I like the sound
2:38Of harmony from time to time
2:46I really do believe
2:52In some kind of tomorrow
2:56When it speaks to me
Sometimes it's all too much to say aloud
The sound's a shroud
The meanings crowd
Sometimes the words are painful to the ear
They disappear and nothing's clear
Till all that's left to me are aftertones
I take them home
We live alone
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me this song's for free
Within the memories of our life gone by
Afraid to die we learn to lie
And measure out the time in coffee spoons
In fading suns and dying moons
Till all that's left to see are aftertones
Don't gone over us
Where meaning goes
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me this song's for free
And ooh I like the sound
Of harmony from time to time
I really do believe
In some kind of tomorrow
When it speaks to me
