After The Rock And Roll Has Gone

After the final chord has faded
The lights have all burned out
After the rain has washed us from the streets
After the sound there comes a silence
I hope I can live without
The crashing of these drums and these guitars
I have given everything that I can give
And more when what I gave was not enough
AFTER THE ROCK AND ROLL HAS GONE

After the sound of revolution
After the storm the calm
After the last goodbye I’ll walk away
I have looked everyone I’ve known between the eyes
And stood for everything I thought was right
AFTER THE ROCK AND ROLL HAS GONE

After all is said and done and all the bloodshed wasted
The battles that we’ve fought are history
I wish I could take you with me when I go
But this final step I must walk alone
AFTER THE ROCK AND ROLL HAS GONE
