In afterglow
 

In afterglow I hold your hand I fall asleep

Or just pretend to keep you here a lover's

Trap to feel your body coming back. To

Feel your strength begin to rise as rippled

Muscles energise you stir and touch my lips

For words, they hardly move but still you heard

Again I feel your flesh alive you fold me in your

Arms and smile, the hour is late but time aside

Pray lover, love me, one more time

In afterglow I'm hot and tired we fence with

Fingers calm the fire, your hand in mine a

Squeeze to say a cuddle kiss, there's time to

Play. A tender touch, a hand in search, my

Strength returns oh God that works, my blood

Fast coursing through my veins, my muscles

Pump alive again. I reach for you, you're in my

Arms, cascading thoughts, cascading hearts

The clock it says near half past three, but what

Is time to you and me? So I give in my sweet

Delight and we'll make love again tonight
