lyrics

Unyoke my knot-wrought shoulders
That I may reach one fathom's length.
Oh, to be thus freed from wont's old toiling
In the dying afternoon.

In the after- the afternoon,
In the after- the afternoon,
In the dying afternoon.
Ooo

Bed my sigh-heavy, sorrow-laden head
With this gloaming silent moon.
Oh, for but an hour so
In the velvet afternoon.

In the after- the afternoon,
In the after- the afternoon,
In the velvet afternoon.
Ooo

My day was slowly drifting by
There's not a soul to hear me sigh
Let me on to nowhere ride
Let me on this fleeting life
Take me to the rooms of my reverie
There's no-one here to comfort me
Nobody waiting on us there
Nobody waiting anywhere

Oh, no
Ooo

Where are we, oh where are we?
Oh, this august light that never may shine again
Oh, could I stay? But yet we may,
In the lucid afternoon

In the after- the afternoon,
In the after- the afternoon,
In the lucid afternoon.
Ooo

The strange circumstances around Sosruko's birth fixed his lot in this world as an outsider, fated to wander from place to place, often a fool, often a stranger, knowing many guises and playing many games.
