Sweetness Follows (Live in Cincinnati, October 27, 2004)R.E.M.

Songwriter: Bill Berry Mike Mills (R.E.M.) Peter Buck Michael Stipe

[Verse 1]
Readying to bury your father and your mother
What did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder why did you bother
Distanced from one, blind to the other
Listen here, my sister and my brother
What would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder why did we bother
Distanced from one, blind to the other

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

[Verse 2]
It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and wonder
I always knew this altogether thunder
Was lost in our little lives

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

[Verse 3]
It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and thunder
Yeah, yeah, we were all together
Lost in our little lives

[Chorus]
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows
Oh, oh, oh, but sweetness follows

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
