After the Bombs

And after the bombs subside
And this long, low campaign
Calls it good for the night

We meet in the streets
Will we meet in a bar's cold light?
We grip at our hands
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

We pinch at our skin
While we wonder how we escaped harm
We forget all our trials
While 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
Yes, we'll go dancing
Won't we go dancing?
'Till it all starts over again
