After the guns are silent After your wounds have healed After those crosses been planted in those fields After that long boat ride all the way across the sea And after this train thee
I will you after the war Love you for always, forever more I will love you after the war Forever, for always and more
After your boots dry and the tobacco is all but Along with all those post cards you’ve under your arm After I remember all the words I could not say And after this long night fades away
I will love you the war Love you for always, forever more I will love you after the war Forever, always and more
After this blackbird lifts from up off your chest And after your soul takes final rest My love I forgive you, you never planned to die And love I’ll place two pennies over your eyes
I love you after the war Love you for always, forever more will love you after the war Forever, for always and more
