Quiet Afternoon Lyrics

In this quiet afternoon our bodies barely move
Afraid of losing touch
Afraid of losing you
Hoping to see
Atonement in your smile
Absolution to this crime
Of disillusionment
And I look into the void
Standing on the edge of my life
Nothing leads to nothing here
The seasons just change

In this quiet afternoon as our bodies barely move
I hold you in my arms
Afraid of losing touch
Afraid of losing you
No sweet delusions
No hiding place in dreams
The excitement slowly pales
In the cold light of day

And I stare at the scenery
Into the bowels of uselessness and grief
Nothing leads to nothing here
The seasons just change

And I look into the void
Standing on the edge of my life
Nothing leads to nothing here
The seasons just change
My sweetest one
Please understand
I'm not a dreary man

Just out of touch
And somewhat crushed
Under circumstances

There was a time
When I held my heart
And showed it eagerly

But very soon
I realized
That it's a shame
And disability
And now I look into the void
Into the bowels of uselessness and grief
Nothing leads to nothing here
The seasons just change

And I stare at the scenery
The scenery's implying me to leave
But nothing leads to nothing here
Nothing leads to nothing here
Nothing feels nothing
Nothing feels nothing here

In this quiet afternoon
I hold you in my arms hoping to see
Atonement in your smile
Absolution to the crime
But nothing leads to nothing here
The seasons just change
