Testo After The War

After the guns are silent And after my wounds have healed And after all these crosses Have been planted in all these fields And after that long boat ride All the way across the sea And after this train carries me Chorus: I will love you after the war Love you for always and forever more I will love you after the war For always forever and more After my boots dry and my tobacco's all but gone And after these postcards I been carrying under my arm And after I remember all the words I couldn't say And after this long night fades away And after this blackbird lifts up from off my chest And after my soul takes its rest My love, forgive me I never planned to die and love, put two pennies on my eyes
