In the Afterglow

Sailing over the seven seas

In search of treasure and magic keys

Shipwrecked somewhere North of East

What I found there was my missing piece

Now I won't ever let my treasure go

Because my treasure is no chest of gold

Sailing through the afterglow

I found you in that island cove

I said to you, 'Don't let me go'

And you held me close in the afterglow

To escape the island we built a raft

Fought off the sharks with our makeshift mast

We looked out on the world so vast

When sunset came, we said, 'Let's make this last'

Now I won't ever let my treasure go

It's the measure of my heart and soul

Because my treasure is no chest of gold

She's my forever and I won't let her go

Sailing through the afterglow

Escaping from that island cove

I say to you, 'Don't let me go'

And you hold me close in the afterglow

Five years on, we were adventure-bound

You tripped and hit your head, fell overboard and drowned

I pulled you out, said, 'Please, make a sound'

I don't want to lose you when I've just been found.

Now I hold onto the afterglow

The nights you showed me your heart and soul

I say to you, 'I won't let you go'

And I hold you close in the afterglow

And I hold you close in the afterglow

I won't let you go

Now I won't ever let my treasure go

Because my treasure is no chest of gold
