Sakamoto Ma'aya - Afternoon Repose lyrics

rate me

Silent afternoon

Curtains swept up by a gentle breeze

Floating memories

In hours like these of the days that we share

Like an ending summer eclipse

Sweet sun pours in from the window

And this shadowed room turns into gold

Outshinning sorrow

In this peace of mind, no apprehensions

I've found my own - a bright reflection

Something calm and strong, I can't explain it

and it's embracing me

I'll wake up to the morning sun here comes another day

and somehow know everything will be OK.

Wind chime, lullabies

Calling me into my garden

Where we kissed the seeds to grow and to bloom

tenderly in the spring

Daydreams arise in sunshine's glory

Midday repose, a simple story

Something calm and strong, I can't explain it

and it's embracing me

Past the yearning, I learned to temper my sorrow

Memories of you, I'll take to tomorrow

Coz I am glad I awoke to this calmness

You lead me to

In this peace of mind, no apprehensions

I've found my own - a bright reflection

Something calm and strong, I can't explain it

and it's embracing me

I'll wake up to the morning sun here comes another day

and reminisce Love's afternoon repose
