Boucle

Oh ye ye eh
Oh oh oh
Oh ye ye eh
Oh oh oh

Couplet 1

In the spirit of David
And the cracks in the walls
And the schemes
That we’re all running
We’re exposed to the rain
Coming down from the clouds
And the fire that falls from Heaven

Pré-Refrain

But our tragedy binds
What our ignorance hides
We all wind up here together
Yeah our bodies are tired
And our souls they are blind
Bones broken by the weather

Refrain

Got a lotta bad days
Still comin’ our way
But a sweet ever after
Wind and waves breaking
Over our walls
But the ship it don’t shatter
The real life lesson
‘Bout a life well lived
Is you lose what don’t matter
But the sun’s coming up
On the stairway to Heaven
In the sweet ever after
In the sweet ever after

Couplet 2

Woke up terrified
In the middle of the night
To a storm our whole house
Was shaking
Didn’t know where
To hide the winds howling outside
Sounded like
Everything was breaking

Pré-Refrain 2

Well our tears fell like rain when the morning light came
In the wake of that disaster
Brick and stone in the streets
Shattered glass in our feet
Homes splintered by the weather

Refrain

Got a lotta bad days
Still comin’ our way
But a sweet ever after
Wind and waves breaking
Over our walls
But the ship it don’t shatter
The real life lesson
‘Bout a life well lived
Is you lose what don’t matter
But the sun’s coming up
On the stairway to Heaven
In the sweet ever after
In the sweet ever after

Pont

If we listen there’s a sound
Beneath the footprints
In all our towns
We’re connected like waves of grain
When we break wide open
We’re all the same
When we break open
We’re all the same

Refrain

Got a lotta bad days
Still comin’ our way
But a sweet ever after
Wind and waves breaking
Over our walls
But the ship it don’t shatter
The real life lesson
‘Bout a life well lived
Is you lose what don’t matter
But the sun’s coming up
On the stairway to Heaven
In the sweet ever after
In the sweet ever after
