Life After You
A tribute to Crowfeather and Leafpool
Ten miles from town and I just broke down
Spittin' out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone just tryin' to get home
I was running across the forest, my paws hitting every stick and stone heavily, my tears flying to the bushes. Mice and voles scurried away from me, but I didn't care. I didn't want to eat, sleep or rest. I wanted to die.
To tell you I was wrong but you already know
Believe me I won't stop at nothin'
To see you so I've started runnin'
Crowfeather, I love you. The words are a prayer in my mind. They may be the only reason I'm still alive. The reason I'm running. And I was wrong, so wrong, to not tell you. To keep you in the dark.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through '
I remember the laughter, the happiness. Your voice, the sound of your voice, is shifting through my fur. I still love you Crowfeather. I still love you with all my heart.
Cause I know there's no life after you
Last time we talked, the night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I must've been high to say you and I
Weren't meant to be and just wastin' my time
No life for me. No life left for me. The last time we walked together, running away from the clans, I knew it was wrong to be together. Even if it felt so right. I think about you always. I think about that night, when we separated.
Oh, why did I ever doubt you?
You know I would die here without you
I'm dying, the inside first, then my body. I'll never be the same, now that you don't love me. You know I can't live without you. So I'm dying…
My paws just tripped over a stump. I clatter to the ground, and I cry harder. Not because of the pain, but because I miss you. I miss you, so much.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through '
Cause I know there's no life after you
You and I, right or wrong, there's no other one
I'll never be the same. I'll never love again. No one is out there for me. No one else is like you.
After this time I spent alone
It's hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind
Thinkin' 'bout the better times, must've been outta my mind
How come you are so blind? I love you. I would die for you. I am dying because of you. I can't say enough how much I love you.
So I'm runnin' back to tell you
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do, yeah
I'm running to your camp, to tell you I love you. To tell you I'm sorry. To tell you I want you to laugh for me again.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' 'bout all that still matters is love ever after
I walk into your territory now to say I love you. That's what I'm running for. That's why I protected our kits.
After the life we've been through, yeah
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you, yeah
I love you Crowfeather.
