Story Behind The Song

A real dream after an ex-girl friend passed ....

Lyrics

Soon After

Made a big mistake many years ago ...
Thinking life was all about you

Then ignoring the calls ... all the calls you made
Going back ... I couldn't do

Was a loyal fireman
Willing to sacrifice ... sacrifice his life

Saving someone surrounded by fire ...
Frightened and crying out

Then Reading the local paper
Your name was among the dead

Hit me hard ... because you seemed immortal
It shocked my cluttered head

So many things around this house ....
Reminded me of you

Too late for me to say goodbye
The Soon After's taken ... Taken You


Rolling a cart down isle nine ...
Stunned ...
You're sitting ... Crying tears ... head down

Disbelief ...
I paced back and forth ...
Till your arms wrapped around

You Whispered ...
"Please forgive me" ...
"For the hurtful words I said"

Waking from this dream ....
You were saying goodbye ....
The Soon After's taken ... Taken You
