Afterwards(Top Gear Session / 1968) - Van Der Graaf Generator

作曲：Peter Hammill

You stare out in yellow eyes larger than my mind

In viscous pools of joy relaxing we glide

It's all too beautiful

For my mind to bear

And as we shimmer into sleep something's unshared

But seeing the flower

That was there yesterday

A tear forms just behind

The soft peace of your shades

The world's too lonely

For a message to slip

But between the dying rails of peace

You trip

The petals that were blooming are

Just paper in your hand

Your eyes which were clear in

The night are opaque as you stand

It was too beautiful

For it to last

These visions shimmer and fade out of

The glass

The petals that were blooming are

Just paper in your hand

The petals that were blooming are

Just paper in your hand

The petals that were blooming are

Just paper in your hand
