Gross Paul - After The War lyrics

rate me

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 it's rest

My love, forgive me

I never planned to die

And love, put two pennies on my eyes
