The Decemberists - After The Bombs lyrics
[The Decemberists - After The Bombs lyrics]
And after the bombs subside
And this long, low campaign
Calls it good for the night
Will we meet in the streets
Will we meet in the bar’s cold light?
When we grip at our hands
Will we hold just a little tight?
After the bombs after the bombs
Subside
And after the rockets calm
And the glimmer of fire
Portends an early dawn
Will we pinch at our skin
While we wonder how we escaped harm?
We forget all our trials
All 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 won’t we go dancing?
Yes we’ll go dancing won't we go dancing?
‘Till it all starts over again
And this long, low campaign
Calls it good for the night
Will we meet in the streets
Will we meet in the bar’s cold light?
When we grip at our hands
Will we hold just a little tight?
After the bombs after the bombs
Subside
And after the rockets calm
And the glimmer of fire
Portends an early dawn
Will we pinch at our skin
While we wonder how we escaped harm?
We forget all our trials
All 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 won’t we go dancing?
Yes we’ll go dancing won't we go dancing?
‘Till it all starts over again
