In Our Bedroom After the War

Wake up say good morning to
That sleepy person lying next to you
If there’s no one there, then there’s no one there
But at least the war is over
It’s us, yes, we’re back again
Here to see you through 'til the day’s end
And if the night comes, and the night will come
Well, at least the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen, the birds sing
Listen,, the bells ring
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning
Gridlock, on the parkway now
The television man is here to show you how
The channel fades to snow
It’s off to work you go
But at least the war is over
She’s gone
She left before you woke
As you ate last night
Neither of you spoke
Dishes, TV, bed
The darkness filled with dread
But at least the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen, the birds sing
Listen, the bells ring
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning
We won
Or we think we did
When you went away
You were just a kid
And if you lost it all
And you lost it
Well we’ll still be there when your war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen the birds sing
Listen the bells ring
All the living are dead and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning
Here it comes
Here comes the first day
Here it comes
Here comes the first day
It starts up in our bedroom after the war
It starts up in our bedroom after the war, after the war
After the war
After the war
After the war
After the war
After the war
