Mysterious: Aftertones

 


 

 

 

 

 

Aftertones - Janis Ian 🎶 

 

Lyrics:

 
Sometimes it's all too much to say aloud
The sound's a shroud
The meanings crowd
Sometimes the words are painful to the ear
They disappear and nothing's clear
 
'Til all that's left to me are aftertones
I take them home
We live alone
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me - this song's for free
 
 
Within the memories of our life gone by
Afraid to die, we learn to lie
And measure out the time in coffee spoons
In fading suns and dying moons
 
'Til all that's left to see are aftertones
And no one knows
Where meaning goes
But i remember chains of melody
It pleases me - this song's for free
 
And ooh, I like the sound
Of harmony from time to time
I really do believeIn some kind of tomorrow
When it speaks to me

New moon

I've endlessly searched for dreams. Night after night. Sleepless between these crumbling walls. I've hunted the moon with my eyes. Watching it wane as if taunting our memory. In the afterglow of our love I have become lost. Now as the moon is new, I know I have failed.
