After the Rain

Now that I am far from New York City

Kinda nowhere, kinda somewhere pretty

I don't recognize the trees, do they recognize me?

All I know is for the meantime I'm not so busy

I like to be a stranger in a strange land

At least I like it when it's something I planned

But is it bitter or bittersweet?

What was that look of defeat?

Did you really check on out? I don't understand

Out here in so many empty spaces

Just being without giving, without taking

I don't mind missing out, there's so much I can do without

But I still don't ever plan to be replacing

My whole life I've dedicated

To being true to love unfaded

For myself, my family and friends

For you and the street 'til the end

The world unbound from all the pain

Everything blooms after the rain

So now that I am far from New York City

Kinda nowhere, kinda somewhere pretty

Not gonna make it to the mountains, not gonna make it to the sea

I'll just stay here in the flatlands 'cause it's good enough for me

And those geese who flew past low, I wonder what they know

Maybe I'll ask them what they've seen, maybe I should follow

Maybe I'll get myself back home, maybe you'll tell me what you mean

By closing up your eyes while I'm free fallin' in-between

The morning doves are singing for the ages

Their melancholy softens all my rages

I say I love you on the phone, you say you love me on the phone

So please don't ever plan to be replacing

My whole life I've dedicated

To being true to love unfaded

For myself, my family and friends

For you and the street 'til the end

The world unbound from all the pain

Everything blooms after the rain

My whole life I've dedicated

To being true to love unfaded

For myself, my family and friends

For you and the street 'til the end

The world unbound from all the pain

Everything blooms after the rain
