After All

So when you’ve finally gotten all you wanted

After all, after all those nights of dream that passed you by

And you ask yourself if it’s real

When you touch the walls that bind you

Bind your mind inside

And then you turn around

See the dream it’s coming out at you as real

It’s touching you in the eyes

It’s not the same

Not for me, not for the guy who’s been there before

Askin’ more

It’s not enough, finding no one’s there to hold you

Askin’ more

It’s not enough, finding no one’s there to hold you

And the circle that collects you in its’ arms

Touches time

Touches all those things you said you had to do

On your own

All alone

And no one’s there for answers, if it’s real

Is this the way it’s supposed to be my friend

And then you turn around

Reaching out sayin’ this is what I got

This is what I give

Take it or leave it

I need it when I couldn’t ask you

And when the questions been left deep inside

And when the questions been left deep inside

And when the questions been left deep inside

I’m askin’ now not for the stories of the pain and

Loss and crime and sorrow

No tomorrow

After all’s been said and done my friend

It’s the end

After all

When I needed someone there I said

After all’s been said and done my friend
