Ever After

Now that you're gone Nothing is wrong But everything's changed Words in your hand Do I set them in stone Or throw them away Now everything we did Like photographs that always moved (And that wasn't strange) Now they're in the can Let's put them on a shelf Let's put them in the ground They'll never move again Ever after Ever after Ever after Over and done All of the fun And all of the pain Why don't I laugh Why don't I cry It ends up all the same Now that you're gone Everything is wrong Though nothing has changed And everything we said Is there on a tape For the future to play Let's put it in the ground That's where it ought to stay Ever after Ever after Ever after And it'll be all right . . .
