After The Fall
© 2000 Elizabeth Marquez
(V1)
On a crisp autumn night
As the harvest moon hung high
He told me there was another
And this would be good-bye
Tears streaked down my face
As the leaves fell from trees
Our love was swept away
By the brisk autumn breeze
(C1)
After the fall
His painful good-bye
Left my heart to whither
As my soul cried
After the fall
When the snow flies
My life was left to whither
As this love died
(V2)
His words pierced through me
Like the cold, driving rain
Concealing my tear drops
Hiding all my pain
Couldn't let him see
My heart had been broken
I turned around instead
Left the words unspoken
(C1)
After the fall
His painful good-bye
Left my heart to whither
As my soul cried
After the fall
When the snow flies
My life was left to whither
As this love died
(b)
As I slowly mended
That broken part of my soul
Those dark autumn nights
Grew cold and brought the snow
Healing blanket of nature
Wrapped its arms around me
And following the fall
My heart had been set free
(C2)
After the fall
When snow flies
My heart no longer remembers
The pain of his good-bye
