After Dark - Live with The Metropolitan Orchestra

Now I'm walking through the park after dark

And I'm calling out your name

Nothing will ever be the same

Said I'm walking through the park after dark

And I'm calling out your name

Nothing will ever be the same

What do you say when words fail?

When there's no cure for what ails?

When it won't heal to no avail?

When the phone rings and it hits home

'Cause it's so real, you're so frail

Curtail, we can't deal

Words can't capture when the heart fractures

What it sounds like when the hourglass shatters

All that matters is that we keep moving forward, never backwards

Moon pulls the tide as it wanes and it waxes

World is but a stage; you and I, we are just actors

Life is but a story and we only get a chapter

That fact alone might be enough when times are tough

To pick us up and light the way and guide us home

Twisting and a-turning while we living and a-learning

So we keep the candle burning knowing

Now I'm walking through the park after dark

And I'm calling out your name

Nothing will ever be the same

Said I'm walking through the park after dark

And I'm calling out your name

Nothing will ever be the same

Ain't it a shame when we all look so nice

In our shirts and ties

That we just came to say goodbye?

And so I pray we meet in paradise

By the candlelight

But I just came to say goodbye

Twisting and a-turning

While we living and a-learning

Keep that candle burning

Knowing you won't be returning

Always twisting and a-turning

While we living and a-learning

So we keep that candle burning

Knowing you won't be returning

Now I'm walking through the park after dark

And I'm calling out your name

And the wind is howling, blowing out your flame

'Til a fading memory is all that remains

Nothing will ever be the same

Said I'm walking through the park after dark

And I'm calling out your name

And I hope you make it back to whence we came

Where before we were as one, now torn in twain

Nothing will ever be the same

Sydney, I wrote this song about my friend who passed away

But I think that the feeling that I was trying to express is something

That every single one of us is gonna go through at some point in time

So I dedicate this to anybody dealing with any type of loss

And if you miss somebody, someone

Somewhere, somewhere right now, Sydney

Can I hear you make some noise? Raise your voice out there
