After Me

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)



There's a line on her jeans, that a ballpoint made

From a careless mistake, that she can't wash away

And there's a heart on her sleeve, from a spill of red wine

There's a piece of green in the blue of her eyes

She named it after me



There's a stay dog she feeds, that she found in the street

And he loves her to hold him, but he won't let her keep him

And he claws at the door to be let out at night

And she makes do without him, and she worries about him

She named him after me



So if you ever decide, that you have to escape

And travel the world, and you can't find a place

Well, you could wind up believin'

That paradise is nothin' more than a feelin'

That goes on in your mind

So if you ever find out what that is

There's somethin' you could do

'cause if i ever hold that golden dream again

I want to tell you i'm gonna name it after you
