Afternoon Repose Lyrics by Maaya Sakamoto

Afternoon Repose

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
