AFTER THE NIGHT

(Words and tune byZan, guitar riff by Mike Whitaker)

Sudden sunlight strikes as someone draws the curtain,
Turn your head away to avoid the light.
Another day is breaking but you're still uncertain,
After the night.

Push the bedclothes back, get up and face the morning,
Try to make believe everything's all right,
Though you know your world could shatter without warning
After the night.

With an effort you can drive away the visions,
Knowing they're still there, only out of sight.
And the day will bring more dangerous decisions
After the night.

)(

Now the day has passed and left you tired and aching,
As you arm yourself for another fight,
And you wonder if the dawn will find you waking
After the night,
After the night,
After the night.
