AFTER TODAY
Copywright 1997, In Clover, "Music for Silent Films"
Words & Music, Tara James

It was a summer in heaven
We could chart our eternal pleasure
As an endless array of starry skies
But the rose-colored glass was too helpless and fragile
Like my heart, the breaks could not be mended

And I'm saying this now, after today, no more promises
The sun'll keep on shining, after today
Make no mistakes about this
I'm taking back the key
And my life's not gonna end - after today

You keep on pushing me out; you keep on running away
Everyday, making promises to me
Was I a sign of your times, was I a game that you played?
And to win, a sacrifice you could make?

And I'm saying this now, after today, no more promises
The sun'll keep on shining, after today
Make no mistakes about this
Tomorrow's another day
And my life's gonna begin - after today

And the summer in heaven
Was too helpless and fragile
Like my heart, a sacrifice you could make
