Modern English - After The Snow (2002) by Modern English (보컬) on maniadb.com

life in the gladhouse is never dull
humdrum days still flying out the window
it's wrought (wild) with overgrown people

broken engagements and twisted faith
growing up and then just growing older
oh me, oh my

an Easter parade for the innocent
a fugitive's ? to pray for awhile
oh me, oh my
oh me, oh my

my shadow weaves me ?
but sometimes leaves love ?

oh me, oh my
oh me, oh my
?
?
oh me, oh my
oh me, oh my

so let's all dance in time
so let's all dance in time
(life in the gladhouse is never dull)
so let's all dance in time
(life in the gladhouse is never dull)
so let's all dance in time
(life in the gladhouse is never dull)
so let's all dance in time
(life in the gladhouse is never dull)

dreaming in a chair, contemplating
the times gone by - exhilarating, entertaining
reaching out with tenderness

scenes of laughter framed in reminiscence
catch a smile for stormy days and sad occasions
moving targets and camera shy

the moon is dark and shadowed
the sun keeps ticking by
silence and solitude
no one left to cry
no one left to cry

standing in front a mirror
I draw and pinch my skin
tired eyes portray reality
a face of lines which melt in the world

I am oak
I am oak
I am oak
I am oak

When summer returns to its warm green fields
the sun fading, pastel in the breeze
the swallow swooping, migrating home
the dawning days morning with a sigh
opening windows with a wounding cry
the rainbow's lost its dreams of gold
and everything slows

when summer returns to its warm green fields
the sun fading, pastel in the breeze
the swallow swooping, migrating home
and everything slows

the vacuum draws you in
strange visions are loose on white
a wall of sound with flutes and strings
rising on a wave of voices
surrounded by your humble faith
morning's there to wake us in time
rain and sky
the world is breathing, living, but turning in its rage

when summer returns to its warm green fields
everything slows
the sun fading, pastel in the breeze
everything slows
the swallow swooping, migrating home
everything slows

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and i won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(you should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(you should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(you should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race
(you should see why)
What i'm comprehending a race that long gone bye

(i'll stop the world) i'll stop the world and melt with you
(i'll stop the world) you've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(let's stop the world) there's nothing you and i won't do
(let's stop the world) i'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide
(let's stop the world) i'll stop the world and melt with you
(let's stop the world) i've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time
(let's stop the world) there's nothing you and i won't do
(let's stop the world) i'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you (let's stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and i won't do (let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (let's stop the world)

the rhythm of the rain gives an off beat on the window pane
like an angel crying from the sky
I can see its beauty after the snow
I can see its beauty after the snow

the temperature's dropping rapidly
normal service will shortly be resumed
I can see its beauty after the snow
I can see its beauty after the snow
after the snow

I stood and watched the dark sky rise
with glaring sunlight in my eyes
I thought of all the times gone by
and laughed aloud at the crimson sky
after the snow
after the snow
after the snow
after the snow

after the snow there's something born
after the snow there's something born
after the snow there's something born
after the snow there's something born
after the snow
after the snow

the rhythm of the rain gives an offbeat on the window pane
like an angel crying from the sky
I can see its beauty after the snow
I can see its beauty

slipping through the sand and the sand through your fingertips
silence was the fear and the fear knew me all too well
waiting at the edge of the sea
gazing at horizons quite naturally

there's something in the air but I know it can't carry me
you know I won't believe you
you know I won't believe in time for now
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down

the grains of sand which grace the land, warm against the sun
the calming sea holds mystery
pushing down and down
riding with the tide
the sun ? me

there's something in the air but I know it can't carry me
you know I won't believe you
you know I won't believe in time for now
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down

carry me down
carry me down

questions left unsaid but instead turn their backs on me
silence was the key and the sea learned its lesson well
waiting on the edge of time
the world is on my doorstep

there's something in the air but I know it can't carry me
you know I won't believe you
you know I won't believe in time for now
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down
there's something in the air but I know it can't carry me
you know I won't believe you
you know I won't believe in time for now
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down

there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down
(you know I can't I won't I can't I won't)
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down
(you know I can't believe it)
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down
(you know I can't I won't I can't I won't)
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down
(you know I can't believe it)
there's something in the air but I know it won't carry me down
(you know I can't I won't I can't I won't)

The bells are tolling for me and my love
discreet horizon's fading, but fading from my trust
all the walls are falling 'round my ears
I can see the writing's on the wall

can't you tell me what's the use?
I always place my trust in you
reaching out for what is mine
pulling down the miserable blinds

empty beds for an empty mind
something difficult to describe
content but not quite safe
I stood and watched you fade away
can't you tell me what's the use?
I always placed my trust in you
reaching out for what is mine
pulling down the miserable blinds

can't you tell me what's the use?
I always place my trust in you
people flying into the blinds
how can we be so kind?
help yourself to another bite
everything will be alright
the table's turning 'round to you
? it well before the silver cracks in two
can't you tell me what's the use?
(the bells are tolling) for me and my life
can't you tell me what's the use?
(horizon's fading) for me and my life
can't you tell me what's the use?
(the walls are falling) for me and my life
can't you tell me what's the use?
(the tables turning) for me and my life

life in the gladhouse is never dull
humdrum days still flying out the window
it's wrought (wild) with overgrown people

broken engagements and twisted faith
growing up and then just growing older
oh me, oh my

an Easter parade for the innocent
a fugitive's ? to pray for awhile
oh me, oh my
oh me, oh my

my shadow weaves me ?
but sometimes leaves love ?

oh me, oh my
oh me, oh my
?
?
oh me, oh my
oh me, oh my

so let's all dance in time
so let's all dance in time
(life in the gladhouse is never dull)
so let's all dance in time
(life in the gladhouse is never dull)
so let's all dance in time
