Vertigo (After Ever)

[Verse] Time brings no love; You all lie, time eases no pain! Whenever he is with her, I miss him in the weeping of the rain, And I say: “There is no memory of him here!” And so I stand, stricken with grief, Unable to get the two of them out of my mind. [Chorus] His wish was my mistake. And yet, for one moment, I was her to him. Then came the darker sooner, came the later lower. We were no longer a sweeter-here happily-ever-after. We were after ever. We were farther and further. [Instrumental interlude] [Verse] More was the word we used for murder. I want him at the shrinking of the tide; The old snows melt from every mountain-side, The day was duller, duller was disaster. But last year’s bitter loving must remain Heaped on my heart, my old thoughts abide. Love After Love, your time will come peel her image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life. [Chorus] His wish was my mistake. And yet, for one moment, I was her to him. Then came the darker sooner, came the later lower. We were no longer a sweeter-here happily-ever-after. We were after ever. We were farther and further. [Instrumental break - guitar solo] [Outro – stark accusatory, alternating voices] Madeleine lies still on the ground. You murdered her. You took my life too. You murdered all of me. And now I’m gone forever. I will never be the girl I once was because of you.
