Afterglow

On my way to work on a crowded train

I was standing by the window pane

Then I saw you fading out of sight

Time seemed to stand still for a while

I found myself getting off the train

Looking for you everywhere in vain

I don't know how it came to my mind

But I had no reason to stay behind

I closed my eyes and called your name again

All I heard was the sound of falling rain

In the morning

On my way home from work in the dark

The stars were growing brighter like a spark

I was thinking about you for a while

Time seemed to speed up late at night

I'm searching for the missing part of my life

I'm waiting for something that'll never arrive

I'm a day dreamer, a late-night sleeper

A star gazer, a night thinker

Won't be an early riser

I'm a day dreamer, a late-night sleeper

Sooner or later

You'll make me feel better

When the world is calm

I can feel your heartbeat around me

When the world is still

I can hear your voice around me

When the world is soft

I can feel your eyes glowing

But when the night is done

You drift away from me

Without my knowing

In the afterglow

I wake up calling

Calling out your name

You end up fading

Into the morning sun

The rain stops falling

And I just wanna run

Away from here
