Last Song Syndrome
This picture I took of the sunset reminds me of "Afterglow", the INXS single which is currently haunting my restlessly weary mind.

Manila Bay sunset


Here I am
lost in the light of the moon
that comes through my window
bathed in blue
the walls of my memory
divides the thorns from the roses
it's you and the roses
touch me and I will follow
in your afterglow
heal me from all this sorrow
as I let you go
I will find my way
when I see your eyes
Now I'm living
in your AFTERGLOW
Here I am
lost in the ashes of time
but who owns tomorrow
in between
the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow
I'm losing control
my mind drifts away
we only have today
touch me and I will follow
in your AFTERGLOW
heal me from all this sorrow
as I let you go
I will find my way
I will sacrifice
till that blinding day
when I see your eyes
now I'm living
in your AFTERGLOW
when the veils are gone
as I let you go
as I let you go
touch me and I will follow
in your AFTERGLOW
heal me from all this sorrow
as I let you go
I will find my way
I will sacrifice
Now I'm living
in your AFTERGLOW
bathed in blue
the walls of my memory
divides the thorns from the roses
It's YOU who is closest
