Afternoon High (original demo) Songtext
von a-ha

Ah, the sunlight hits the corner of your eye
As it bounces off the morning sky
A summer in the ′70s fly by, by, ah-oh

Ah, daylight hits the corners of your mind
Steals the thoughts you thought no one could find
Close your eyes and it will rob you blind, blind

Ah-ah-ah
Incidental memories collide
Ah-ah-ah
Sentimental reveries abide
Oh, afternoon high

Ah, daylight hits the corners of your mouth
Steals the words that filled you up with doubt
Open up and let them all fall out, out, ah-oh


Ah, honey smoothes the wrinkles from your bed
Gone the indentations of your head
Leaving just a frown upon your forehead, head

Ah-ah-ah
Incidental memories collide
Ah-ah-ah
Sentimental reveries abide
Oh, afternoon high

Ah-ah-ah
Worry works a wrinkle over time
Ah-ah-ah
Open eyes and let it rob you blind
Ah-ah-ah
Incidental memories collide
Ah-ah-ah
People tell me you've been blinded by


An afternoon high
An afternoon high
Oh, afternoon high
Oh, afternoon high
