Silver Afterglow

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Glass on the windowsill

Catches the passing light

I count the hours till you call my name

The silver in my voice

Is only half the shimmer

The rest lives in the space you used to fill

Pre-Chorus

And if the night gets quiet

I let the ringing carry me

Back to your door

Chorus

Hold me in the afterglow

Let the crystal morning know

Every note I owe you

Rings until it glows

I am light (I am light)

Made of sound (made of sound)

Falling soft (falling soft)

All around

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Whisper turns to thunder

In the low and tender dark

You read my breath like letters on my skin

And when I finally open

The high notes pull me under

Sweet and thin like water wearing stone

Pre-Chorus

And if you hear me climbing

The staircase of a single phrase

Don't let me fall

Chorus

Hold me in the afterglow

Let the crystal morning know

Every note I owe you

Rings until it glows

I am light (I am light)

Made of sound (made of sound)

Falling soft (falling soft)

All around

Bridge

And I ride the trembling air

Where the silence used to bend

Every delicate leap

Every softened descent

Is the answer that I send

Chorus

Hold me in the afterglow

Let the crystal morning know

Every note I owe you

Rings until it glows

I am light (I am light)

Made of sound (made of sound)

Falling soft (falling soft)

All around

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh-oh
