After the Fall - Halie Loren

Lullabies float like birds through the land

And pennies in the stream

From dreaming little dreams with him

And the records spin on through the night

And the darkness it sighs

When Billie sings: «take my arms, I’ll never use them»

After the fall you’re still singing these songs

'Cause the light in the sound

Warms your heart in the winter, baby

And after the fall you’ll reach back to a time

Of melodies soft and clear

To cradle your heart

A man says it’s only a paper moon

And he travels in time

Weaving sounds in your room

And these foolish things still remind you of him

How he took all of you

Like you wanted him to

In those days of sweet surrender

And after the fall you’re still singing these songs

'Cause the light in the sound

Warms your heart in the winter, baby

And after the fall you’ll reach back to a time

Of melodies soft and clear

To cradle your heart

And it’s sweeter than sugar and wine

And it’s softer than summertime

Funny like a valentine

When your heart is aglow

Now you know

That you can’t

Live in a song that never ends

What a wonderful world

It would be if you could

And in your solitude, that mood indigo

Is what’s left of the night

When the record ends

In the silence of cold December…

And after the fall you’re still singing these songs

'Cause the light in the sound

Warms your heart in the winter, baby

And after the fall you’ll reach back to a time

Of melodies soft and clear

To cradle your heart

And after the fall you’re still singing these songs

'Cause the light in the sound

Warms your heart

In the winter.
