Afterglow

(Bruce Donnola/BMI)
1998

Come with me love, and I'll walk you to the train
Looks like you'll be late for work
There's a station just a couple blocks away
Take the F train to 23rd

Let me buy you a cup of coffee for the ride
Here's a token for the turnstile
One last kiss, then run and look back at me
With a meaningful smile

CHORUS
I can feel the things that I feel
I don't know the things I don't know

Who can tell what's real or not real?
I'm still lost in your afterglow

I head back to my apartment - it's so quiet

Oh, you forgot your makeup
I'll take a shower where you just took a shower
Gotta try and wake up - wake up!
Drown and drown and drown reluctantly
To have to wash away the scent of you on me

CHORUS

Gotta hurry up or I'll be late too
I still haven't woken

There's the train - run-run-damn-it's no use
I gave you my last token
This is where I just kissed you goodbye
This is where you smiled back at me
This is where you vanished from my sight
This is where we will always be

CHORUS
I can feel the things that I feel
I don't know the things I don't know

Who can tell what's real or not real?
I'm still lost in your afterglow
