terry scott taylor - ever after lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
she makes her way to the factory
she’s living this side of the rainbow
oh, broken hearts
giving up on “happy ever after”
she seldom cries
she’s gotten used to steel-grey skies

[verse 2]
out to the train, thru the turnstile
down to the city he goes
oh, lovely view
but he just sees a job to do
they all get by
and grandma’s there when baby cries

[chorus]
no happy ever afters
they’re working the holidays
they’ve lost their love and laughter
locking their hearts away

[verse 3]
evening–and she sets the tableware
he is delayed at the depot
late home again
she asks him how his day has been
he says, “the same
the paper says it looks like rain”

[verse 4]
over black coffee and cigarettes
they try counting blessings and old debts
so much for dreams
they just come true on tv screens
oh, they’ll get by
and grandma’s there when baby cries

[chorus]
no happy ever afters
they’re working the holidays
they’ve lost their love and laughter
locking their hearts away

[bridge]
baby sleeps, and baby sails up over the moon
jesus in a castle meets her
feeds her with a golden spoon
baby wakes, and in her eyes
shines light from the soul
the kind that mommy used to carry
so long ago
