The Day After the Farewell - ATOONZ

What if it's not If it's not meant to be What if someone Has made a mistake What we've become There's no turning back Maybe it's time To say that out loud Question marks are falling down Crushing underneath our memories As we stand and look around The world that remained On the walls we paint our dreams Hiding in the fallout shelters While The Gardens of Eden Are burning above What if it's not If it's not meant to be What if someone Has made a mistake What we've become There's no turning back Maybe it's time To say that out loud

There's still plenty of leaves Golden on the trees Hoodies, blue jeans and football Bonfires and school nights Scarecrows and hay rides It's fall everywhere except the mall I don't want to hear about Santa Claus coming No silver bells or a dozen drummers drumming I don't want to see an inflatable nothing Till the day after Thanksgiving (And not a day early) Don't plug in those electric candles Or dangle those stockings from the living room mantle Those tangled up lights are more than I can handle Till the day after Thanksgiving Then, oh, let it snow Go and tell everyone you know That Christmas is here Every day between now and new year Don't deck the halls with the tinsel or the holly You can make me grumpy, but you can't make me jolly Elves don't even make curly-head dollies Till the day after Thanksgiving Then, oh, let it snow Christmas card, everyone you know Then pour on the cheer Every day between now and new year I want the cookies and the mistletoe kissing Angel on top of a tall tree glisten Wrap it all up in a pretty red ribbon The day after Thanksgiving (You can put antlers on your car for all I care) As long as it's the day after Thanksgiving

Gaze at the sky And picture a memory of Days in your life You knew what it meant to be happy and free With time on your side Remember your daddy When no one was wiser Your ma used to say That you would go further than he ever could With time on your side Think of a boy with the stars in his eye Longing to reach them but frightened to try Sadly, you'd say Someday, someday But day after day The show must go on And time slipped away Before you could build any castles in Spain The chance had gone by With nothing to say And no one to say it to Nothing has changed You've still got it all to do Surely you know The chance has gone by Think of a boy with the stars in his eye Longing to reach them but frightened to try Sadly, you'd say Someday, someday But day after day The show must go on And you gaze at the sky And picture a memory of days in your life With time on your side With time on your side (day after day) (The show must go on) With time on your side (day after day) (The show must go on) With time on your side (day after day) (The show must go on) With time on your side (day after day) (The show must go on) With time on your side (day after day) (The show must go...)
