Lyrics

The work came in,
and there's still room in Georgia,
so I'm heading soon
and without delay.

It's chance I see you,
Queen with blue eyes,
practically shining through the rain.

In a little while, I'll be far from here,
and I was wondering if you'd take me there
If you had one night to spare.

After all this time,
After all this time,
After all this time,
What have I to show?
And this is how it goes?

Talk to me,
I'll hold your words closely,
as if tokens from a dream.

When we were younger,
Our shared conviction,
Was that love would overcome our means.

Maybe it's alright,
I'll ride the highs as they come,
but these feelings keep crossing me,
and I could use some company.

After all this time,
After all this time,
After all this time,
What have I to show?
And this is how it goes?

Now, you're crying, and I know what for
'Cause here stands the vagabond,
and he's rappin' at your door
When you see him,
face to face,
does it shake you to the core?

So, I took the next bus
to Atlanta
'Cause I've got money waiting there to be made.

After all this time,
After all this time,
After all this time.
