Afterimage
Rush · Other Songs - Rush
From all the lives you left your mark upon
I remember
How we talked and drank into the misty dawn
I hear the voices
We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn
I see the footprints
I remember
I feel the way you would
I feel the way you would
I feel, feel the way you would
Tried to believe but you know it's no good
This is something that just can't be understood
I remember
The shouts of joy skiing fast through the woods
I hear the echoes
I learned your love for life,
I feel the way that you would
I feel your presence
I remember
I feel the way you would
I feel the way you would
I feel, feel the way you would
This just can't be understood
Tried to believe but you know it's no good
This is something that just can't be understood
I remember
I feel the way you would
I feel the way you would
I feel, feel the way you would
This just can't be understood
