Ever After

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

When you hear that rooster crowing

In the dawn, in the dawn

There's really no way of knowing

What goes on, what goes on

The world is full of questions

Some are answered, some are not

The only faith you're keepin'

Is the faith that you still got

I love the sound of laughter

And music in the air

And in the Ever After

I know it's always there

A man had many boxes

And he liked them quite a lot

But they would not be opened

'Cause the value would be shot

Sometimes when I go walkin'

In the trees, in the trees

That's where I do my prayin'

In the trees, in the trees

The world is full of answers

Some are right, some are wrong

The one that I believe in is a wish in a song

I love to see you smilin'

And hear your voice so fair

And in the Ever After

I know you're always there
