Rebekka Bakken - After All lyrics

Cry in the arms of a widow
 Steal in the arms of a thief
 Fight in the arms of a soldier 
Pray in the arms of a priest
 Hope in the arms of a dreamer
 Forget in the arms of the old
 Regret in the arms of a sinner 
But never give into the cold

 Then sleep in the wonder of silence 
Innocence always recalls 
Under the bed sheets, a naked 
Life that has lived after all 

Don't long for a breeze while you're waiting 
For faces to show in the sun 
The miles you have walked are behind you
 But there might be still more to come 
Don't run for the shade 
Or the waters
 That lie on that side road you'll find 
When doubt has convinced you the j**els 
Are those things you wish were undone 

Know all the wonders when evening
 Comes and you're sleeping alone 
The whisper of angels reminding
 There's always a right in the wrong

 Know surrender, in the beating
 Heart that you own 
Wake in all its known desires
 And sleep alone

 So when you are lying with angels 
Or when you are praised by your love 
Know there's a difference at nighttime
 When all else around you is gone 
If closing the eyelids brings nothing
 When longing for heavens to come
 Know nothing compares to an angel's
 Embrace and the one you've become 

Sleep in the wonder of silence 
Innocence always recalls 
Under the bed sheets, a naked 
Life that has lived after all 

Know all the wonders when evening
 Comes and you're sleeping alone 
The whisper of angels reminding
 There's always a right in the wrong 

Know surrender, in the beating 
Heart that you own 
Wake in all its known desires
 But sleep alone
