AFTER THE NIGHT

Sunrise shadows Seem stuck to the ground Got my shoes off But I'm moving around Fumblin' keys while I stare at the door When she's awake I Won't be hers anymore Out on the freeway Just a-flexin' my toes How this will end well Neither one of us knows But we know this Something's gotta change Tired of bein' The pawns in the game And I see that freckled smile Mascara lines have been Smudged for awhile Bruises heal but not in the heart Nothin' ends till you got a new start Been a long time since I had my first kiss But heaven knows it Wasn't near good as this Two broken hearts Reaching out from the soul Line up the wounds and Guess you make up a whole Bury my history Right in your chest Strokin' your hair while You slumber and rest Still of the night so Quiet and calm Think of Bethesda Guess you are my balm How you wear it makes me smile But all that silk just wears off in a while I'm too old to give it just to a friend And just can't try to spend it again We lay on a pillow You set on a floor You ask me to hold you And not to ask more I step through your threshold And close up the door If you'll be my ocean Guess I'll be your shore Yeah Maybe there's shadows Out on the lawn Maybe the ravens Well they all flap at Dawn Or maybe this will all Will all work out right Can only see the sunrise After the night Can only see the sunrise After the night After the night After the night After the night After the night After the night After the night After the night Oooo After the night
