After the storm, there's the calm,

After the night, there's is day,

After the rain, there's the sun,

After the rain, after the storm, after the day, the natural follows.

But after you, there is nothing,

after you there is nothing.

After the sadness, there is joy

After the dark, there is light

After the famine, there is plenty

After the sadness, the dark, the famine, the natural follows

But after you, there is nothing,

after you there is nothing.

After every year more time passes,

The love we had, the times we had.

After each year, I realize I'm so alone,

After each year, I long for your embrace

After each year there is only sadness

After each year there is only darkness

After each year there is only rain

After each year there is only famine

The natural does not follow

For after you, there is nothing, after you there is nothing.

There is no light, there is no joy, there is no sun, there is no plenty

For after you, there is nothing, after you there is nothing.

To Gabby
