Afternoon

作詞 : Steven Sater

ALICE: A little talk could hold me for a little while

Another brush of whiskers and that distant smile

So little life remaining and the shadows won't contain me

The book of night is closing for the child

ALFRED: I knew you were a strange girl or I thought you were

You mustered all the wonder from the room of hurt

We knew the world of summer

Like a sister, like a brother

And the melodies were sweeter left unheard

ALFRED: We fell down a

ALFRED & ALICE: Hole

ALFRED: Don't you

ALFRED & ALICE: Remember

ALFRED: We fell so fall

ALFRED & ALICE: Below

And never found the center

ALICE: Another word or

ALFRED & ALICE: Two

ALICE: And all the summer

ALFRED & ALICE: Knew

ALICE: In the song of

ALFRED & ALICE: The afternoon

Afternoon

ALICE: You never play September in a winter game

ALFRED: The heart will not remember what it will not name

ALICE: The caterpillar gazes on a world of older faces

ALFRED: But the butterflies go floating all the same

ALFRED: We fell down a

ALFRED & ALICE: Hole

ALFRED: Won't you

ALFRED & ALICE: Remember

ALFRED: We fell so fall

ALFRED & ALICE: Below

We never found the center

ALICE: And who knew what to do

With all I felt for you

In the song of the afternoon

Afternoon
