What Comes After

All the stores have long since shut
 Broken windows boarded up
 Never had the heart to tear it down
 To tear it down
 Everything is laid out wide
 And I've got nothing left but time
 To think that such a day would once terrify
 I can't believe it now
 Time gives all that it takes
 Time leaves nothing in its wake
 And I am ready for what comes after
 For what comes after
 All the clouds have passed away
 And I can only see the light of day
 I never thought such clarity
 would come my way (ch)
 Still waiting for the morning to call my name
 Still waiting for the light on the windowpane
 Still waiting for the sun
 But it never comes
 It's impossible to forget
 Until the day that there's finally nothing left
 But where nothing lies, anything can rise
 And be torn down
