Afterlife Blues Lyrics

'll turn a light on for you
I'll turn a light on for you, darlin'
From up here it makes me feel so small
From up here it makes you seem so small

I'll turn a light on for you
‘Cause I would do anything to see you
I would hold you like a bedroom wall
I would hold you like a bedroom wall
‘til there's nothing left to hold at all


I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
Can't you hear the news?
I got the afterlife blues

And all the words I'm savin' up for you
All the mixed up things I did not do
All the mixed up love I gave to you
All the things I learned for heaven's sake
All the millions that I could not take
All the millions that I could not take
That I worked myself to death to make

I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
For every stone inside my shoes
I got the afterlife blues

I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
I got the afterlife blues
