GENESIS

- Afterglow Lyrics

Like the dust that settles all around me
I must find a new home, home
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter
They're all as one to me now

Oh but I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
Oh walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before, yes I miss you more

Than the sun reflecting off my pillow
Bringing the warmth of new life
And the sound that echoed all around me
That I caught a glimpse of in the night

Oh, but now, now I've lost everything
I give to you, give to you my soul
And the meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing and no one

Oh but I would search everywhere
Just to hear, hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before

Oh but now now now now I've lost everything
I give to you, I give to you my soul
And the meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, yes I miss you more
I miss you more
