In the Afternoon

歌詞

Sunlight fading in the afternoon, Shadows crawl across the land, Tired backs bending in the afternoon, Pockets glove the tired hand Walking slowly to the domicile Built from mud and board and tears, Dreams unloosening the hidden smile He's been saving up for years Rapture secretly turns to speak, Tantalizing those who are weak, Offering in low, languid tones Houses that cannot be homes Pioneering spirit abounds In dreams that we keep fastening down, Dreams that to live must be free To touch each man's destiny Turn and dig your heels in the road, Don't be bound or trapped by the old, Take from the past what you need To give to the new life you lead. Run from the false golden crust That hides all the heartbreak and rust, Run to the arms of your youth, Run to the arms of the truth Sunlight fading in the afternoon, Shadows crawl across the land, Tired backs bending in the afternoon, Pockets glove the tired hand
