Afterlife

Long as you’re by my side

I will make you dinner in the afterlife

Live in our afterworld

Stringing jewelry of gold and pearl

Some bonds don’t break

I come to nourish you with my hands

Make you sculpture in the sand

Hands that work, hands that tire

We form the shape but the shape expires

You know I worked for all these years

Trying my hardest at my life’s career

We been witness to joy and pain

But the world we left was the world we gained

We’re so different, you and I

In a way we never saw eye to eye

Despite the loss that set me free

In a way you’re maybe still guiding me

Some bonds don’t break

We all reshape

Long as you’re by my side

Will you make me laugh in the afterlife

Long as our long dark night

You can lead me on ‘til the morning light
