Somewhere in the Afterglow - Diesel Park West

作曲：John Butler

Yeah the songbird sings a sweet tune

I'm standing at St Anne's Corner waiting for you

I'm through with dreaming

And drapes of Flemish lace

I took all that could be expected

Of a man my age

The law it wears a flimsy crown

Naked when it's mass slips down

Who've they caught in the honey jar now

Some paragon on the wrong side

of town I bet you

Somewhere in the afterglow

We'll put this world to rights

Just you and I and the lovers' tale

If nothing can stop us now

I sometimes look at photographs

There I am standing in the past

Looking for the knife at my back

Tell me who was it I was thinking of babe

Did they have a face at all

Now somewhere in the afterglow

We'll put this world to rights

Just you and I and the lovers' tale

If nothing can stop us now

Not even hurricanes or flash lightning

Nor fair weather friends could reach us here

No ills or sorrow or worrying about tomorrow

Nobody's act we've got to follow

I've never felt so alive

I've read about the books they wrote

Usually somebody else's quote

Can't even laugh at their own jokes

Tell me what do they imagine's happening

Somewhere in the afterglow

We'll put this world to the rights

Just you and I and the things we know

They're ours for all time

Somewhere in the afterglow

We'll take comfort in the night

Yeah you and I and the lovers' tale

If nothing can stop that's right

Now somewhere in the afterglow

We'll put this world to rights

Just you and I and the human tale

There's no one to stop us now
