The here and after

Spawn inside this memory again

One earthbound minute, unbent

A moment broken

Softly spoken, magic

So here we are

Night has thrown its heels at our door

And stormed its way in, bidden

Our feet in drunken incantations, moving

Happily, happily, ever after

With kisses and curses, dripped in laughter

Happily, happily, would I disappear

Wishes and wasted breath

At closest dreaming

So far away

Counting down

In twos and in threes

With never a word, out loud

This hidden temple, decalescent, stepping

Happily, happily, ever after

With kisses and curses, dripped in laughter

Hurry to lay it down

Where I've made my bed

Wishes and wasted breath

At closest dreaming

So far away

As we grow

As we go

To the here and after

I've never forsaken you

That's really something

So hurry to lay me down

Where I've made my bed

Tends to a wilted pale

Throwing up a beat

Kick it down
