Jets At Dawn Lyrics - Singles - Be-bop Deluxe

Woke this morning, the war was over 

The radio was singing love songs 

Saw the smiles upon the soldiers 

Coming home across the fields 

The calendar said first of August 

Romance and promises of summer days 

I strolled unclothed into the garden 

To feel the warm sun on my face 

The saving of the human race 

Jets at dawn trail across the sky 

Silver birds writing words for airman's wives 

Who down below hang the washing out to dry 

Frilly briefs and flying helmets in a line 

Jets at dawn, writing in the sky 

Silver planes 

(Vapor trails) 

Drawing Coca-Cola signs 

To advertise above the cities and the towns 

Flying high across the sea beyond the clouds 

Said goodbye to the others 

The old musicians of the past 

Said hello to the young things 

Oh, your songs are here to sing at last 

Drank the wine of the new vine 

Growing wild inside my heart 

I saw the future age had risen 

Time to make a brand new start 

Time to see beyond the dark 

Jets at dawn, trails across the sky
