| Aftershocks |
| The drama's faded and the dust has settled down And the looting's over and the fires, I guess they're finally out And life goes on and on and on, though slightly shaken No more urgerncy or screaming or things breaking And we've been here before Bracing ourselves on the doorways For the aftershocks... They'll get you every time The aftershocks... Just when you think you're fine The ocean doesn't seem to mind And the sky still looks the same, if a little gray So I'll just drink this rescued wine And wonder why i came, anyway And we've been here before Standing scared inside these doorways Waiting for the aftershocks.... For the aftershocks..... On the day you left I did all those broken lover things I stood out on the stormy beach, staring at the tide A heroine in a romantic, tragic scene from far away For weeks I cried... At every afterschock... For the aftershocks.... |
