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