Rebekka Bakken - After All lyrics
Cry in the arms of a widow Steal in the arms of a thief Fight in the arms of a soldier Pray in the arms of a priest Hope in the arms of a dreamer Forget in the arms of the old Regret in the arms of a sinner But never give into the cold Then sleep in the wonder of silence Innocence always recalls Under the bed sheets, a naked Life that has lived after all Don't long for a breeze while you're waiting For faces to show in the sun The miles you have walked are behind you But there might be still more to come Don't run for the shade Or the waters That lie on that side road you'll find When doubt has convinced you the j**els Are those things you wish were undone Know all the wonders when evening Comes and you're sleeping alone The whisper of angels reminding There's always a right in the wrong Know surrender, in the beating Heart that you own Wake in all its known desires And sleep alone So when you are lying with angels Or when you are praised by your love Know there's a difference at nighttime When all else around you is gone If closing the eyelids brings nothing When longing for heavens to come Know nothing compares to an angel's Embrace and the one you've become Sleep in the wonder of silence Innocence always recalls Under the bed sheets, a naked Life that has lived after all Know all the wonders when evening Comes and you're sleeping alone The whisper of angels reminding There's always a right in the wrong Know surrender, in the beating Heart that you own Wake in all its known desires But sleep alone
