Afterglow Lyrics by Genesis

Platinum Collection

1976

[Verse 1]
Like the dust that settles all around me
I must find a new home
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter
Are all as one to me now

[Chorus]
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before
I miss you more

[Verse 2]
Than the sun, reflecting off my pillow
Bringing the warmth of new life
And the sounds that echoed all around me
I caught a glimpse of in the night

[Chorus]
But now, now I've lost everything
I give to you my soul
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one

[Chorus]
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before

[Chorus]
For now I've lost everything
I give to you my soul
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none
I miss you more

[Instrumental Outro]
