After the Song Ends

Irish Basement

Compositor: Mike Toohey

I still feel you in the calm after it rains
When my petty problems
Feel both solved and washed away
I still taste you in a lemon Perrier
Sour but subtle, bitter but not
Down for whatever to advance the plot
Oh my God, you’re gone

I still feel you when the fog dissipates
Bethesda summer, when the Sun warms up my face
I still hear you in the silence after the song ends
Gatekeep our favorite bands
They won’t end up in the wrong hands
