AFTERGLOW

[Intro] [Verse] To warm the hands is heat enough We do not share more than one life A face may fire the novel - ‘Love’ But plots and fictions flare for strife [Verse] The Prince of Denmark holds a clue To minds that sink or swim by turn Lost in labyrinths of mist and dew Their deep desire will wake each yearn [Chorus] O to live a hundred ways No guilt nor shame nor obligation Each face to plough the fertile days Fit for a king of self-creation [Verse] Our pilgrimage is marked by grace When new encounters stir then glow Imagines all soon red of face Warm to wonder wander and go [Verse] Seek to watch the embers expire In still reflection’s dim delight New faces - always new - retire No more their flame may trouble light [Chorus] O to live a hundred ways No guilt nor shame nor obligation Each face to plough the fertile days Fit for a king of self-creation [Break] [Verse] To warm the hands is heat enough We do not share more than one life A face may fire the novel - ‘Love’ But plots and fictions flare for strife [Verse] The Prince of Denmark holds a clue To minds that sink or swim by turn Lost in labyrinths of mist and dew Their deep desire will wake each yearn [Chorus] O to live a hundred ways No guilt nor shame nor obligation Each face to plough the fertile days Fit for a king of self-creation [Verse] Our pilgrimage is marked by grace When new encounters stir then glow Imagines all soon red of face Warm to wonder wander and go [Verse] Seek to watch the embers expire In still reflection’s dim delight New faces - always new - retire No more their flame may trouble light [Chorus] O to live a hundred ways No guilt nor shame nor obligation Each face to plough the fertile days Fit for a king of self-creation [Outro]
