TRACK :10
AFTER THE TEARS
JONATHA'S NOTE:
I originally wrote a different version of this song to submit to a movie called "Because of Winn Dixie" with Jeff Daniels. Well, surprise, they didnt use it, but I was soooo in love with the chorus that I kept chipping away at a way to make it mine. Adding Eric was the perfect way to bring it back. We recorded it live in my little room in New York. Distortion and all, a little red wine, chocolate. The original idea happened at True Tone guitars in Santa Monica. Dave, our pal there had just gotten in a used mandolin. It came out of the case in a funky tuning, and I started playing the chorus of this song. So, duh, I had to buy the mandolin in order to finish it.
LYRICS:
Think of me once in a while
Put in a good word
Youre right up there with the stars in the sky
And the tears in my eyes but its OK
Youd never tell and youd never say
After the tears have fallen
Ill be better off without you
And Ill say everything I wanted, everything I wanted
To say
Tell me the truth for a change
Now that youre gone for good
What do I do with the love in my heart
Tell me where do I start when Im lonely, and only
After the tears have fallen
Ill be better off without you
And Ill be everything I wanted, everything I wanted
To be
I cant even picture your face any more tell me
How will I know you, did I ever know you?
After the tears have fallen
Ill be better off without you
And Ill see everything I wanted, everything I wanted
To see
Everything, everything, everything
