Jon Boden - Afterglow
High above the city
Sun sinking low
Pinpricks in the darkness
Carnival below
See them caught up in the undertow
The rabble rip tide turning
Iridescent in the afterglow
Down where the barrels are burning
Cloud cover red
Cloud cover blue
Star burst up ahead
Rain down on you
Maybe you're caught up in the undertow
The rabble rip tide turning
Iridescent in the afterglow
Down where the barrels are burning
Running down the hill
Dust in my eyes
Sink down to the city mile
Watch the rabble rise
Now I’m caught up in the undertow
The rabble rip tide turning
Iridescent in the afterglow
Down where the barrels are burning
And they’re burning so bright
As they roll down the city mile
I’m blinded by the light
Drums beating all the while
Now I see the parade
Come marching through
Masked silhouettes come swirling then
I see you
Dancing in the half light
Frozen in time
We reach out across the crowd
Your hand touches mine
But now we’re caught up in the undertow
The rabble rip tide turning
Carried away in the afterglow
Down to where the barrels are burning
