Lyrics for After All by Dar Williams:
| | | Artist: | Dar Williams |
| | Album: | The Green World | | Track: | After All | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 90 | | | | Lyrics: | Go ahead, push your luck
Find out how much love the world can hold
Once upon a time I had
control
And reined my soul in tight
Well the whole truth
Is like the story of a
wave unfurled
But I held the evil of the world
So I stopped the tide
Froze it up from
inside
And it felt like a winter machine
That you go through and then
You catch
your breath and winter starts again
And everyone else is spring bound
And when I
chose to live
There was no joy, it's just a line I crossed
It wasn't worth the pain my
death would cost
So I was not lost or found
And if I was to sleep
I knew my
family had more truth to tell
And so I traveled down a whispering well
To know myself
through them
Growing up, my mom had a room full of books
And hid away in
there
Her father raging down a spiral stair
Till he found someone
Most days his
son
And sometimes I think
My father, too, was a refugee
I know they tried to
keep their pain from me
They could not see what it was for
But now I'm sleeping
fine
Sometimes the truth is like a second chance
I am the daughter of a great
romance
And they are the children of the war
Well the sun rose with so many
colors
It nearly broke my heart
And worked me over like a work of art
And I was a
part of all that
So go ahead, push your luck
Say what it is you've got to say to
me
We will push on into that mystery
And it'll push right back
And there are worse
things than that
'Cause for every price
And every penance that I could think
of
It's better to have fallen in love
Than never to have fallen at all
'Cause
when you live in a world
Well it gets in to who you thought you'd be
And now I laugh at
how the world changed me
I think life chose me after all | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
