Barclay James Harvest - After The Day Lyrics
John's vision of armageddon literally closes the album with a bang! the references in the lyric to a stained-glass window ("one great wall of coloured parts") and "the multi-colouRoss left standing through it all" add to the apocalyptic feel of the song, which was a live favourite for many years, particularly in the days of the band's concerts with the orchestra.Lyrics:The eyes of night march slowly byThe last grain fallsThe kneeling man just sighsProtected by the one great wallOf coloured partsHe probes his clouded mindIf he takes a look around himIs there nothing left to seeIs there nothing left at allAfter the dayWith trembling hands he wipes his eyesHe tries to standBut does not feel the needThe morning sun shines onThe multicoloured crossLeft standing through it allIf he takes a look around himIs there nothing left to seeIs there nothing left at allAfter the dayIf he takes a look around himIs there nothing left to seeIs there nothing left at allAfter the day
