After the toil and heartache
After the rain is through
After the flood has flown back to the sea
Long after the sun strike the dew
verse 2
But after the briars and thistles
Long after the dark has returned
And after the storm clouds have broken apart
I just want to know exactly what it is that I've done
And I, I just want to know
If it's worth my time
And I, I just want to know
If it's worth my time
Interlude
verse 3
Oh and after the flowers and slow dances
After the thrill is gone
After sweet nothings there's nothing
so bittersweet as a love that's gone on too long
And I, I just want to know
If it's worth my time
And I, I just want to know
If it's worth my time
