The Afterglow describes the balance between the honesty and deception that exists in personal relationships and features some nice slide played on a cheap Indian guitar made mostly from cardboard.
lyrics
The Afterglow
I wanted to say something true
I wanted to prove, prove it to you I wanted to know something real I wanted to say, say how I feel
Safe in your arms I reside
Like watching a bird from a hide Watered and fed, wrapped up in warm Into the calm after the storm
Will you hold me tight Never let me go
Through the still dark night And the afterglow
With a strength of will
And sleight of hand
I will love you the best that I can
The sound of your laugh in my ears
The taste of the salt from your tears
The sweep of you neck, the fall of your hair
The gaze of your eyes lays me bare.
I wanted to say something real
I wanted to prove the way I feel
I wanted to know something true
I wanted to say I love you
from The Song is Everything,
