After Dark Lyrics by Horrorshow

Bardo State

2017

[Chorus 1: Hayley Mary]
Now I’m walking through the park, after dark
And I’m calling out your name
Nothing will ever be the same
Said I’m walking through the park, after dark
And I’m calling out your name
Nothing will ever be the same

[Verse 1: Solo]
What do you say when words fail?
When there’s no cure for what ails
No, they won’t heal, to no avail
When the phone rings and it hits home
'Cause it’s so real, we so frail
Curtailed, we can’t deal
Words can’t capture when the heart fractures
Or what it sounds like when the hourglass shatters
All that matters is that we keep moving forward and never backwards
The moon pulls the tide as it wanes and it waxes
The world is but a stage, you and I, we are just actors
Life is but a story and we only get a chapter
And that fact alone, might be enough when times are tough
To pick us up and light the way and guide us home
Twisting and a-turning while we living and a-learning
So we keep the candle burning, knowing you won’t be returning

[Chorus 1: Hayley Mary]
Now I’m walking through the park, after dark
And I’m calling out your name
Nothing will ever be the same
Said I’m walking through the park, after dark
And I’m calling out your name
Nothing will ever be the same

[Verse 2: Hayley Mary & Solo]
Ain’t it a shame, when we all look so nice
In our shirts and ties
That we just came to say
Goodbye, and so I pray
We meet in paradise
By the candlelight
But I just came to say
Goodbye

[Bridge: Hayley Mary, Solo & Backing Vocalists]
Twisting and a-turning
While we living and a-learning
Keep that candle burning
Knowing you won’t be returning

[Pre-Chorus: Solo & Backing Vocalists (Hayley Mary)]
Always twisting and a-turning
Always twisting and a-turning
While we living and a-learning
While we living and a-learning
So we keep that candle burning
So we keep that candle burning
Knowing you won’t be returning
Knowing you won’t be returning

[Chorus 2: Hayley Mary & Solo]
Now I’m walking through the park, after dark
And I’m calling out your name
And the wind is howling, blowing out your flame
Till a fading memory is that all that remains
Nothing will ever be the same
Now I’m walking through the park, after dark
And I’m calling out your name
And I hope you make it back to whence we came
Where before we were as one, now torn in twain
Nothing will ever be the same

[Chorus 1: Hayley Mary & Solo]
Now I’m walking through the park, after dark
And I’m calling out your name
Nothing will ever be the same
Said I’m walking through the park, after dark
And I’m calling out your name
Nothing will ever be the same
