Return to Cups

Then and Again
and again, after all...

Then and again and again

I wonder why it is still so strong

After all --- And after all that has fallen

After all --- And after all that still rains

He blows through me like a hurricane

I wonder why I’m still storming


Then and again and again

Where you go I will a shard of myself

After all --- And after all the words spoken

After all --- And after all the tears spilled

I still wish to sneak into your thoughts

And quietly warm you today


Then and again and again

Some day I may smile and not be so afraid

After all --- And after all the pain subsides

After all --- And after I issue that final wince

In protection, and healthy fear

Of what you do to me
