Sweet Ever After

By Ellie Holcomb

Lyrics

In the spirit of David and the cracks in the walls and the schemes that we're all running,

We’re exposed to the rain coming down from the clouds and the fire that falls from heaven,

But our tragedy binds what our ignorance hides, we all wind up here together,

Yeah our bodies are tired and our souls they are blind, bones broken by the weather


Got a lotta bad days still comin’ our way, but a sweet ever after

Wind and waves breaking over our walls, but the ship, it don’t shatter

The real life lesson bout a life well lived, is you lose what don’t matter

But the sun’s coming up on the stairway to heaven,

In the sweet ever after, in the sweet ever after


Woke up terrified in the middle of the night , to a storm, our whole house was shaking

Didn’t know where to hide, the winds howling outside, sounded like everything was breaking

Well the tears fell like rain, when the morning light came , in the wake of that disaster

Brick and stone in the streets, shattered glass in our feet, homes splintered by the weather


Got a lotta bad days still comin’ our way, but a sweet ever after

Wind and waves breaking over our walls, but the ship, it don’t shatter

the real life lesson bout a life well lived, is you lose what don’t matter

But the sun’s coming up on the stairway to heaven,

in the sweet ever after, in the sweet ever after


If we listen, there's a sound beneath the footprints in all our towns,

We’re connected, like waves of grain, 

when we break wide open, we’re all the same 

when we break open , we’re all the same


Got a lotta bad days still comin’ our way, but a sweet ever after

Wind and waves breaking over our walls, but the ship, it don’t shatter

well the real life lesson bout a life well lived, is you lose what don’t matter

but the sun’s coming up on the stairway to heaven,

in the sweet ever after, in the sweet ever after

in the sweet ever after, in the sweet ever after
