Lyrics

After the Bombs (Live)

And after the bombs subside And this campaign Calls it good for the night We meet in the streets Will we meet in a bar's cold light? We grip at our hands We hold just a little tight After the bombs After the bombs Subside And after the rockets calm And the glimmer of fire Pretends an early dawn We pinch at our skin While we wonder how we Escaped harm We forget all our trials While there In our baby's arms After the rockets After the rockets Calm Then we'll go dancing Won't we go dancing Yes we'll go dancing 'till it all Starts over again Then we'll go dancing Yes we go dancing Won't we'll go dancing 'till it all Starts over again
