Sweet Ever After

Lyrics

[Intro: Ellie Holcomb] Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 1: Bear Rinehart] In the spirit of David, and the cracks of the walls And the schemes that we're all running We're exposed to the rain coming down from the clouds And the fire that falls from Heaven But our tragedy binds what our ignorance hides We all wind up here together Yeah, our bodies are tied and our souls, they are blind Bones broken by the weathеr [Chorus: Ellie Holcomb, Ellie Holcomb & Bear Rinehart] Got a lot of bad days still comin' our way But a sweet ever after Wind and wavеs breaking over our walls But the ship, it don't shatter The real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived Is you lose what don't matter But the sun's coming up on the stairway to Heaven In the sweet ever after In the sweet ever after [Verse 2: Ellie Holcomb] Woke up terrified in the middle of the night To a storm, our whole house was shaking Didn't know where to hide, the winds howling outside Sounded like everything was breaking Well, the tears fell like rain, when the morning light came In the wake of that disaster Brick and stone in the street, shattered glass in our feet Homes splintered by the weather [Chorus: Ellie Holcomb, Ellie Holcomb & Bear Rinehart, Bear Rinehart] (Listen) Got a lot of bad days still coming our way But a sweet ever after (But a sweet ever after) Wind and waves breaking over our walls But the ship, it don't shatter (But the ship, it don't shatter) The real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived Is you lose what don't matter (Is you lose what don't matter) But the sun's coming up on the stairway to Heaven In the sweet ever after In the sweet ever after [Bridge] If we listen There's a sound Beneath the footprints In all our towns We're connected Like waves of grain When we break wide open We're all the same When we break open We're all the same [Chorus: Ellie Holcomb, Bear Rinehart] Got a lot of bad days still coming our way But a sweet ever after Wind and waves breaking over our walls But the ship, it don't shatter (But the ship, it don't shatter) Well, the real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived Is you lose what don't matter (Is you lose what don't matter) But the sun's coming up on the stairway to Heaven In the sweet ever after (In the sweet ever after) In the sweet ever after (In the sweet ever after) In the sweet ever after (In the sweet ever after) In the sweet ever after (In the sweet ever after)
