Afterglow

Vanessa Carlton · Harmonium [2004]

Just when the days start getting colder

I walk the streets I never knew

And there're some words I never told you

The sound rings out like the truth



And if you could

See what's come over me

Then you would know

'Cause I'm walking free

Wind at my back

Bathed in afterglow



And as I sit here in this dark room

All I seem to feel is light

And I see color

I see the maroon

In the blood of this life that's ours



And if you could

See what's come over me

Then you would know

'Cause I'm walking free

Wind at my back

Bathed in after..



Watch the sun

It paints an orange sky

Lay me down and feel the day has gone by



Just when the day

Just when the day

Oooh-Ooh



Just when the days start getting longer

I walk the streets I never knew

And the sun comes out for you



And if you could see

What's come over me

Then you would know

'Cause I'm walking free

Wind at my back

Bathed in after..



'Cause I'm walking free

Wind at my back

Bathed in afterglow

Ooh

Ooh
