What Comes After Songtext

von Steve Wynn

All the stores have long since shut
Broken windows boarded up
Never had the heart to tear it down
To tear it down

Everything is laid out wide
And I've got nothing left but time
To think that such a day would once terrify
I can't believe it now

Time gives all that it takes
Time leaves nothing in its wake
And I am ready for what comes after
For what comes after

All the clouds have passed away
And I can only see the light of day
I never thought such clarity
Would come my way (ch)

Still waiting for the morning to call my name
Still waiting for the light on the windowpane
Still waiting for the sun
But it never comes

It's impossible to forget
Until the day that there's finally nothing left
But where nothing lies, anything can rise
And be torn down
