Eddi Reader - The Afton lyrics

rate me

The dam on our doorstep

Frozen over, undiscovered,

Covered natures sculptures fine,

And the man-made beauty shines,

For the first time in life,

I behold the Afton's might,

And the waterworks don't blight

Nor the railings mar this sight

To see the joy in the mundane

Feel the life force in the plain

Is that not the why you came?

Still you're leaving...

To the Afton

Still you're leaving...

Still you're leaving, all the same

For the first time in life

I behold the Afton's might

And the waterworks don't blight

Nor the railings mar this sight

To see the joy in the mundane

Feel the life force in the plain

Is that not the why you came?

Still you're leaving...

To the Afton

Still you're leaving...

Still you're leaving

All the same
