Sarah Polley - The Sweet Hereafter lyrics

He led us he said to a joyous land Joining the town and just at hand Honeybees had lost their stings Horses were born with eagle wings The sweet hereafter waters gushed and fruit trees grew The sweet hereafter flowers put forth a fairer hue All the little boys and girls With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls Sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls Tripping and skipping run merrily after The music with laughter The sweet hereafter waters gushed and fruit trees grew The sweet hereafter flowers put forth a fairer hue The sweet hereafter and everything was strange and new As they reached the mountain's side A wondrous portal opened wide A cavern was suddenly hollowed The piper advanced the children followed When all were in to the very last The door in the mountainside shut fast The sweet hereafter waters gushed and fruit trees grew The sweet hereafter flowers put forth a fairer hue The sweet hereafter and everything was strange and new The sweet hereafter waters gushed and fruit trees grew The sweet hereafter flowers put forth a fairer hue The sweet hereafter and everything was strange and new The sweet hereafter waters gushed and fruit trees grew The sweet hereafter flowers put forth a fairer hue The sweet hereafter and everything was strange and new
