| Song | After The Day |
| Artist | Barclay James Harvest |
| Album | BJH And Other Short Stories |
| 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-colou | |
| Ross 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 by | |
| The last grain falls | |
| The kneeling man just sighs | |
| Protected by the one great wall | |
| Of coloured parts | |
| He probes his clouded mind | |
| If he takes a look around him | |
| Is there nothing left to see | |
| Is there nothing left at all | |
| After the day | |
| With trembling hands he wipes his eyes | |
| He tries to stand | |
| But does not feel the need | |
| The morning sun shines on | |
| The multicoloured cross | |
| Left standing through it all | |
| If he takes a look around him | |
| Is there nothing left to see | |
| Is there nothing left at all | |
| After the day | |
| If he takes a look around him | |
| Is there nothing left to see | |
| Is there nothing left at all | |
| After the day |
