"After The Rain" lyrics

Now that I am far from New York City
Kind of nowhere, kind of somewhere pretty
I don't recognize the trees, do they recognize me
All I know is for the meantime I'm not so busy

I like to be a stranger in a strange land
At least I like it when it's something I planned
But is it bitter or bittersweet, what was that look of defeat
Did you really check on out, I don't understand

Out here in so many empty spaces
Just being, without giving, without taking
I don't mind missing out, there's so much I can do without
But I still don't ever plan to be replacing

My whole life, I've dedicated
To being true to love unfaded

For myself, my family and friends
For you and us three til the end

The world unbound from all the pain
Everything blooms after the rain

So now that I am far from New York City
Kind of nowhere, kind of somewhere pretty
Not gonna make it to the mountains, not gonna make it to the sea
I'll just stay here in the flatlands because it's good enough for me

And those geese who flew past low, I wonder what they know
Maybe I'll ask them what they've seen, maybe I should follow
Maybe I'll get myself back home, maybe you'll tell me what you mean
By closing up your eyes while I'm free-falling in between

The mourning doves are singing for the ages
That melancholy softens all my rages
I say I love you on the phone, you say you love me on the phone
So please, don't ever plan to be replacing

My whole life, I've dedicated
To being true to love unfaded

For myself, my family and friends
For you and us three til the end

The world unbound from all the pain
Everything blooms after the rain
