Carrie Newcomer Lyrics
Before And After Lyrics
The dust settles after a hit and run
Bewildered by the damage done
I don�t know why we choose the roads we travel
Or how a life could get so unraveled.
Chorus:
We live our lives from then until now,
By the mercy received and the marks on our brow
To my heart I�ll collect what the four winds will scatter
And frame my life into before and after.
Once a trick of light made me believe,
A red fire was blazing from every tree.
We held hands as the evening gathered.
I forgave myself for what I didn�t ask her.
I once saw the sky filled with falling stars
Bumped my head in the dark and it left a scar
Held on too tight before I let it go,
Then forgave myself for what I didn�t know.
Chorus:
We live our lives from then until now,
By the mercy received and the marks on our brow
To my heart I�ll collect what the four winds will scatter
And frame my life into before and after.
I�ve stretched my soul over fifty states,
I have lived on fumes and religious cornflakes,
And once I dreamt my shoe had grown thin and battered,
And forgave myself for what didn�t matter.
God said Cain where is your brother,
And who will tell his grieving mother?
Jacob dreamt an angel called his name
And he never was the same
Chorus:
We live our lives from then until now,
By the mercy received and the marks on our brow
To my heart I�ll collect what the four winds will scatter
And frame my life into before and after.
