After Me

　　There's a line on her jeans that a ball-point 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 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

　　She named him after me

　　She named him after me

　　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 believing

　　That paradise is nothing more than a feeling

　　That goes on in your mind

　　So if ever find out what that is

　　You know There's something you could do

　　'Cause if I ever hold that golden dream again

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