Standard (EADGBE)

In a foreign country, you and I

Sit beneath a foreign sky

Walk the unfamiliar streets

Watch as yesterday repeats

Moving through the ruins of the day

We begin to lose our way

Everything we might have been

Waiting to begin again

We are entering the beauty of an unfamiliar past

Hoping for an ending that will last

After all the doubts and after all the searching

After all that we’ve been through

After all the love and after all the sorrow

There was once and always you

Standing on the old cathedral steps

Kissing where the saints have wept

Shadows from another time

Somewhere you were always mine

In the quiet and the mystery of the all too human heart

Lives that come together and apart

After all the doubts and after all the searching

After all that we’ve been through

After all the love and after all the sorrow

There was once and always you

In a place so unfamiliar we can finally recall

Only one thing matters after all

After all . . .

After all the love and after all the sorrow

There was once and always you

After all the doubts and after all the searching

After all that we’ve been through

After all the love and after all the sorrow

There was once and always

Once and always

Once and always you
