Dar Williams After All Lyrics

After All Lyrics

go ahead push your luck find out how much love the world can hold
once upon a
time i had control and rained my sole in tight
well the whole truth
its
like the story of a wave unfruled
but i heald the evil of the world
so i
stopped the tide
froze it up from inside
and it felt like
a winter
machine that should go thourgh and then
]you cathc your breath and winter
starts again
and everyone else is spring bound
but when i chose to
live
there was no joy its just a line i crossed
it wasnt 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
and growing up myu mom had a room full
of books
and hid away in there
her father raging down a sprial star till
he oounf someone most day s his sson
and sometimes i think, my father too
was a refugee i know they tried to keep their paingfrom em they cvould not see
what it was for
but now im sleeping fine
sometimes the truth is liker a
2nd chance i am the dfaughter of a great romance and they are the children of
the war
well the sun rose
with so many color it nearly broke my
heart
it work ed me over like a work of art
and i was apart of all
that
so go ahead push your lukc
say what it is you g otta =say to
me
we will push on into that mysetery
and it will poush
right
back
and there are worse things then that
zuc for every privce
and every penance that i could think of
its better to have fallen in
love
then never to have fallen at all
cuz when youlive in a world
well
it gets send to who you thought youd be
and now i laugh at how the world
chaged me
i think life chose me after all
