Janis Ian - Aftertones(34 visits)

Sometimes it’s all too much
To say aloud
The sound’s a shroud
The meanings crowd
Sometimes the words
Are painful to the ear
They disappear when
nothing’s clear.
And that’s left
To see are aftertones
I take them home
We live alone
But I remember
Chains of melody
It pleases me- -
This song’s for free.


Within the memories
Or our life gone by
Afraid to die
We learn to lie
And measure out the time
In coffee spoons
In fading suns
And dying moons.
‘Til all that’s left
To see are aftertones
And no one knows
Where meaning goes
But I remember
Chains of melody
It pleases me- -
This song’s for free.

And ooo, I like the sound
Of harmony
From time to time
I really do believe
In some kind of tomorrow
When it speaks to me.
