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