Genesis "Afterglow" lyrics

Genesis "Afterglow" lyrics
[In which year did you first hear and notice this song?]

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.
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.

Then the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echo all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
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.

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.
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.


Sometimes lyrics and music from some old song will pop into my head, usually at the time the "collective unconscious" is rearing its head inside me (ha ha), whispering its platitudes and its calls to action all at the same time.
Sometimes the default is just to whisper lyrics from songs as an expression of one's inner feelings.
