12 AFTERMATH

music & words: P. Tschaikowsky / Anna Alerstedt

I gave away my heart and soul for this
so here I shall remain
here, somewhere in the aftermath of bliss
abandoned with disdain

a taste of heaven, a touch devine
that is love, they say
so was also mine
before you don your celestial gown
hear a heathen's word:
it's a long way down
yes, a long way down

You took me by the hand and said "be mine
until the day we die"
I really cannot say who crossed the line
but she who payed was I

A woman's wrath can be hard to face
but a blow for you
is indeed a waste
I wash my hands of the words you said
they're for you to bear
and for me to forget
Your road is set
I will have you know
you reap what you sow
you'll see, you will fall just as I
foolishly trusting a lie
broken and sprawled on the floor
finding that love is no more

I gave away my heart and soul for you
so here I shall remain
