The Sweet Hereafter Lyrics

The Sweet Hereafter by Sarah Polley

Led us, he said, to a joyous land
Joining the town and just at hand
Honey bees had lost their stings
Horses were born with eagles' wings

The sweet hereafter
Waters gushed and fruit-trees grew
The sweet hereafter
Flowers put forth a fairer hue

All the little boys and girls
With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls
Sparkling eyes and and teeth like pearls
Tripping and skipping
Run merrily after the music with laughter

The sweet hereafter
Waters gushed and fruit-trees grewSarah Polley - The Sweet Hereafter - http://motolyrics.com/sarah-polley/the-sweet-hereafter-lyrics.html

The sweet hereafter
Flowers put forth a fairer hue
The sweet hereafter
Everything was strange and new

As they reached the mountain's side
A wondrous portal opened wide
A cavern was suddenly hollowed
The piper advanced the children followed
When all were in to the very last
The door in the mountainside shut fast

The sweet hereafter
Waters gushed and fruit-trees grew
The sweet hereafter
Flowers put forth a fairer hue
The sweet hereafter
Everything was strange and new
