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 the 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
