Lyrics
After the Fire
After the fire,
There was only me and you,
A certain silence,
A certain hue,
After the rain,
There was nothing more to say,
After a moment,
I watched you walk away.
Verse
After the darkness,
I expected light,
A dazzling sunrise,
To scatter the night,
After the morning,
There was nothing left to choose,
When I reached out,
You'd already cut me loose.
AFTER the Fire (2)
Chorus
You were the storm that took me under,
Filled with beauty, fuelled by wonder,
you, you were the storm that took me under
Oh we were so much younger,
Than we could know.
Verse
After Joanna,
What could I do?
But wake to the TV,
Instead of waking up to you,
After the ground was gone,
There was nothing left but space,
A space between us,
And the bittersweet taste.
