Bourbon Tabernacle Choir - Afterglow lyrics

There's nothing here either one can say Isn't nothing what you wanted, anyway? Nothing like a feeling that comes so fast When you stumble on "nothing lasts" But I stood and I waited for the love to increase And it shocked me, baby, when the news was released When you told me... If you're living in somebody's afterglow Love is something that you'll have to see go If you feel your ladder is much too tall Love is something that you'll have to let fall Thought of leaving here to chance alone Instead I waited for what I own Outside my window it looks much too cold To ever wander from the strength of my home But you changed everything in your offhand way You kept your silence and you let me behave so badly... If you're living in somebody's afterglow Love is something that you'll have to see go If you feel your ladder is much too tall Love is something that you'll have to let fall Something forced me to look in your face It could have stripped us of all our grace But I'm tired of talking to myself It was worth all my heart-earned wealth So I centre my mind on the task that's to come To detach all I have from the solace of one who taught me...
