Linda McRae: MUSIC/LYRICS/VIDEO
Before the Hereafter
This song came out of an object writing exercise my friend Nova and I were doing. Say thank you while you can.
BEFORE THE HEREAFTER
Joy turned to sadness, confusion and blindness
heartbreak was all that I knew
love’s loss brought silence and in walked the sorrow
would have fallen if not for you
Say it slowly, clearly before the hereafter
after here this chance may be gone
the thank you I’m feeling is so tired of waiting
hereafter this moment is all
Two ears listening
two eyes seeing
two hands holding mine
two lips smiling
one heart singing
so glad I could say it this time
Say it slowly, clearly before the hereafter
after here this chance may be gone
the thank you I’m feeling is so tired of waiting
hereafter this moment is all
Thank you for the hand that held mine
changed my view from lost to found
thank you for the arm round my shoulder
held me up when I was crashing down
Say it slowly, clearly before the hereafter
after here this chance may be gone
the thank you I’m feeling is so tired of waiting
hereafter this moment is all
