After the Rain
When the storm ends, the ghosts are still there.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I kissed the ground you walked upon
And drank the air you breathed
I dined upon your beauty
You intoxicated me
I raised you to a pedestal
And sat before your throne
My heart was borne on silken wings
But now those birds have flown
Verse 2
The days of wine and roses
Were soon to pass away
The tender flowers of romance
Became a barbed bouquet
How soon the veil was lifted
The truth was plain to see
I stood forlorn and hopeless
In the embers of my dreams
Chorus
After the rain, came
After the rain, came
After the rain, came
The shadows passed, and things were clear again
Bridge
Now I'm waving, I'm not drowning anymore
I'm heading out of darker waters, sailing to the shore
Verse 4
And so to silver linings
New dawns and better days
To step into the sunlight
Beyond the gilded cage
The queen sits in the tower
Her kingdom in decay
Left to rule the ruins
Of the realm that she has made
Chorus
After the rain, came
After the rain, came
After the rain, came
The shadows passed, and things were clear again
