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