lyrics

In my recurring dream
I remember the fight
I see you drive away
Your lifeless brown eyes
I see me running after
And the morning sunrise
Spread light on a new world

In my recurring dream
We're much older now
And you could've changed your name
Been passed in a crowd
In circles I turn over
Cities and towns we used to run to

After The healing,
after decades or more
You will find me
Ready to know you
Long after letting go,
long after the war
I will find you ready to love me

In my recurring dream
The storm seems to have passed
The fortress 'round your heart
Towers of glass
I take a breath to call to you
But scenes change so fast
I soon forget where we are

I spy you on a train
Steaming away
A voice across the market square
What did she say?
you vanish round the corner
The games our minds play
Then back to my own bedroom.

After The healing,
after decades or more
You will find me
Ready to know you
Long after letting go,
long after the war
I will find you ready to love me
Lift up your eyes to mine
Don't wake me before
We can finally see we are in the sun

Down the hall I can hear you
In my bed I can feel you
Pastures outside my door
Where your horses still run
Was a time when I knew you
For one moment I glimpsed you
Will you know me again
After the healing's done?

After The healing,
after decades or more
You will find me
Ready to know you
Long after letting go,
long after the war
I will find you ready to love me
Lift up your eyes to mine
Don't wake me before
We can finally see we are in the sun
After the healing's done

about

Kicklighter Tallahassee, Florida

I'm Everett Young, the founder of Kicklighter.

I'm 48 and picked up guitar 7 years ago, after finishing a PhD in political psychology and not getting the tenure-track academic job I thought I wanted.

My latest album is 2.5 years in the making.

My next step is to pursue composing for the orchestra. When or whether I'll return to pop music, I don't know. Thanks so much for listening!
