Afterglow Lyrics & Chords By Amazing Blondel

Vespers bell tolls day's departure
Resounding its plaintive knell
The cowherd drives his cattle homewards
As sunlight bids a fading farewell.

Warm afterglow, how discreetly you flow
Casting twilight's halo, on the dimming day.
Calm afterglow, bathe each hill and hedgerow
In a scarlet shadow, slipping slowly grey.

Shirehorse ploughs one final furrow
Gaping nostrils snorting steam,
The yearling bows her head in slumber
While Sandman spurs a world to dream.

Warm afterglow, how discreetly you flow
Casting twilight's halo, on the dimming day.
Calm afterglow, bathe each hill and hedgerow
In a scarlet shadow, slipping slowly grey.

Advent of night,
Soothing sight,
Seaman's delight.

Bustling woodland slows to stillness,
Quiet save for the blackbird's cry
A crimson aura braids the skyline
Urging languid day to die.

Warm afterglow, how discreetly you flow
Casting twilight's halo, on the dimming day.
Calm afterglow, bathe each hill and hedgerow
In a scarlet shadow, slipping slowly grey.
