After the Storm Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And after the storm
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up
On my knees and out of luck
I look up

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart
I won't rot

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall
And remembered our own land
What we lived for

[Chorus]
But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair

[Verse 2]
And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more
That's why I hold
That's why I hold with all I have
That's why I hold

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I won't die alone
And be left there
Well I guess I'll just go home
Oh God knows where
Because death is just so full
And man so small
Well I'm scared of what's behind
And what's before

[Chorus]
There will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair
And there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair

About

#FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR

This is, like so many other songs on Sigh No More, a song about dealing with the aftermath of personal hardship, using the aftermath of a storm as a metaphor. It would seem that it lyrically inspired the talented American Mumford groupies The Lumineers in their hit, “Flowers In Your Hair.”
