Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980 in Milford, Pennsylvania) is an American pop and rock singer, songwriter and pianist best known for the hit song "A Thousand Miles", a single from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002). Although it is widely respected by her many fans, the follow up to this album, Harmonium, did not fare as well, selling only 179,000 copies. Her third album, tentatively titled "Heroes and Thieves," will be released mid to late 2007.

Afterglow Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton

Just when days start getting colder
I walk the streets I never knew
There's some words I never told you
The sound rings out like the truth

And if you could see what's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walking free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow

And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color
I see the ruin
Of the blood in this life that's ours

And if you could see what's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walking free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after

Watch the sun it paints an orange sky
Lay me down and feel the days gone by

Just when the day, Just when the day

Just when the days start getting longer
I walk the streets I never knew
The sun comes out for you

And if you could see whats come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walking free
The wind at my back
And bathed in after

As I'm walking free
The wind at my back
I'm bathed in afterglow
