Marillion - After Me lyrics

There's a line on her jeans

That a ballpoint made

>From a careless mistake

That she can't wash away

There's a heart on her sleeve

>From a spill of red wine

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

She named it after me

There's a stray 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 you travel the world

And you can't find a place

You could wind up believing

That paradise

Is nothing more than a feeling

That goes on in your mind

So if you ever find out what it is

There's something you could do

Cause if I ever hold that golden dream

I want to tell you

I'm gonna name it after you
