Sweetness Follows lyrics

Readying to bury your father and your mother

What did you think when you lost another?

I used to wonder why did you bother

Distanced from one, blind to the other

Listen here, my sister and my brother

What would you care if you lost the other?

I always wonder why did we bother

Distanced from one, blind to the other

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

It's these little things, they can pull you under

Live your life filled with joy and wonder

I always knew this altogether thunder

Was lost in our little lives

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

It's these little things, they can pull you under

Live your life filled with joy and thunder

Yeah, yeah, we were all together

Lost in our little lives

[Chorus]

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

Oh, oh, oh, but sweetness follows
