Lyrics
A little talk could hold me for a little while
Another brush of whiskers and that distant smile
So little light remaining and the shadows won't contain me
The book of night is closing for the child
I knew you were a strange girl or I thought you were
You mustered all the wonder from a room of hurt
We knew the world of summer like a sister, like a brother
And the melodies were sweeter left unheard
We fell down a hole
Don't you remember?
We fell so far below
And never found the center
Another word or two
And all the summer new
In the song of the afternoon
Afternoon
You never play September in a winter game
The heart will not remember what it will not name
The caterpillar gazes on a world of older faces
But the butterflies go floating all the same
We fell down a hole
Won't you remember?
We fell so far below
We never found the center
And who knew what to do
With all I felt for you
In the song of the afternoon
Afternoon
Another brush of whiskers and that distant smile
So little light remaining and the shadows won't contain me
The book of night is closing for the child
I knew you were a strange girl or I thought you were
You mustered all the wonder from a room of hurt
We knew the world of summer like a sister, like a brother
And the melodies were sweeter left unheard
We fell down a hole
Don't you remember?
We fell so far below
And never found the center
Another word or two
And all the summer new
In the song of the afternoon
Afternoon
You never play September in a winter game
The heart will not remember what it will not name
The caterpillar gazes on a world of older faces
But the butterflies go floating all the same
We fell down a hole
Won't you remember?
We fell so far below
We never found the center
And who knew what to do
With all I felt for you
In the song of the afternoon
Afternoon
