The Afternoon by The Apples in stereo Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2000

The afternoon fading go-between
And tambourines as well adorn my dreams
The sanguine glow of lanterns grows ever strong
As shadows grow longer

The orchestra in sequin gowns
A secret glance of dancers winding down
A girl ignores the final chords
And lingers on, on languid lawns

That dim refrain, sad melody
It haunts my brain and taunts my memory
And when I cry I hear close by
Sweet sympathies sounding for me, yes

And when I die, I pray that when
I close my eyes, I'll see that day again
And on the air will petals bear
Sweet symphonies, sweet symphonies, yes
