Afterglow Lyrics

I need you here beside me to chase the night away 

I need your love to guide me safe through another day 

I lie and watch the lights go down 

Say goodnight to another town 

And though it hurts to be alone 

I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm 

 In the afterglow of your love 

Dreamings all I'm guilty of 

Everyday I'm playing tough 

But read my mind 

 If you could see me now 

Just living my life in a limbo 

If you could see me now 

The me that only you would know 

Still burning in the afterglow 

 When the beat of the drum has faded 

The show comes to an and 

The stage is clear and loaded 

And the highway calls again 

I stand and watch the lights go down 

 In the afterglow of your love 

Dreamings all I'm guilty of 

Everyday I'm playing tough 

But read my mind 

 If you could see me now 

Just living my life in a limbo 

If you could see me now 

The me that only you would know 

Still burning in the afterglow 

 Stay with me right to the end 

Till I can hold you again
