Decemberists - After The Bombs lyrics

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
