I’ll wait for you in a vineyard of bliss,
In the ever-after,
I’ll sit among the clouds and save a special kiss,
In the ever-after,
Don’t dwell on all you’ve lost - I’ll give you all you miss,
In the ever-after.

In the ever-after we can make a world brand new,
In the ever-after we’ll be free in all we do,
In the ever-after I’ll be happy; I’ll be with you,
In the ever-after.

I’ll wait for you in an orchard of gold,
In the ever-after,
I’ll remember everything I was ever told,
In the ever-after,
I’ll be waiting here for you to melt and to hold,
In the ever-after.

In the waiting room,
Tick-tock,
Time drags its body slowly,
Hour after hour,
Tick-tock,
We wait and wait,
Wait and wait,
Until the doctor appears,
And covers his watch,
He announced time,
The time he stopped counting his clock,
Tick-tock,
Tick-tock,
Tick-----------------------

I feel my eyes close and open,
Against my will they move,
As if a string controlled my senses,
Like a puppet that’s been removed.

…passing…
…passing…
…passing…

I feel my mouth dry and harden,
But fluid won’t remain,
I’m like a barren sandy desert,
Like a river that’s been contained.

…passing…
…passing…
…passing…

I pass through the fires of hell,
And hide my bloodshot eyes,
And hope he’ll see that my pathway could straighten,
The day I met with Satan.

I pass through the gates of heaven,
And bow my weary head,
And pray he’ll forgive the muddy path I trod,
On the day I met with God.
