The Afton

Lyrics

The dam on our doorstep
 Frozen over, undiscovered,
 Covered nature's 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...
 Still you're leaving...
 Still you're leaving...
 Still you're leaving...
 To the Afton
 Still you're leaving...
 To the Afton
 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...
 Still you're leaving...
 Still you're leaving...
 Still you're leaving...
 To the Afton
 Still you're leaving...
 To the Afton
 Still you're leaving...
 To the Afton
 Still you're leaving...
 Still you're leaving
 All the same
