After The War Lyrics - Singles - Gross Paul

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
