After the storm
(Joe Pereira)
With heart torn asunder
and mind in turmoil
After the storm
I leave this hallowed soil
heavy with burden
of many a sleepless night
All down to when and with
whom I book the flight
Recklessness of youth
It gets left behind
and you my secret love
Are always on my mind
a planned new beginning
takes long to prepare
makes the pain of leaving
much harder to bear
But go, I must,
you’ll never be mine
your face and your voice
still haunting my mind
unrequited love
tearing my heart apart
Unrequited love
time to make a brand new start
I’ll smile again
Through the night, into dawn
After the storm
When darkness is gone
Recklessness of youth…
But go, I must…
