Dandelions in Bullet Holes Lyrics
Kaleidoscope,
Wheel of hope.
Place to start out from,
Although it started long ago,
The world's work has begun.
A hula hope,
A human chain.
To warm our hands,
And find our way,
When all the lights go out.
A raincoat and a French beret.
The rolling hills of past mistakes,
Like quiet under cloud.
And I will long look to the chruning sea,
This call to arms means wrap them,
Around the first person you see.
(Chorus)
Dandelions in bullet holes,
We stand in our civilian clothes,
On blankets laid out on a lawn,
Clouds of rain will all move on.
And when the mist clears we will see,
Both of our names on a marquee,
Across the ocean the same day,
And then washed ashore a block away.
The windwill is waiting for the same thing,
As the slackened sail,
As the core withing like the wind,
Is blowing at the veil.
And I will long go on this inner sight,
This call to arms means hold to it,
And hold tight.
(Chorus)
Ah come on, these streams of light are not so subtle,
All along the ditch signs of like in sinking puddles.
Dandelions in bullet holes,
We stand in our civilian clothes,
On blankets laid out on a lawn,
Clouds of rain will all move on.
And when the mist clears we will see,
All of our names on a marquee,
Across the ocean the same day,
And then washed ashore a block away.
Wheel of hope.
Place to start out from,
Although it started long ago,
The world's work has begun.
A human chain.
To warm our hands,
And find our way,
When all the lights go out.
A raincoat and a French beret.
The rolling hills of past mistakes,
Like quiet under cloud.
And I will long look to the chruning sea,
This call to arms means wrap them,
Around the first person you see.
Dandelions in bullet holes,
We stand in our civilian clothes,
On blankets laid out on a lawn,
Clouds of rain will all move on.
And when the mist clears we will see,
Both of our names on a marquee,
Across the ocean the same day,
And then washed ashore a block away.
As the slackened sail,
As the core withing like the wind,
Is blowing at the veil.
And I will long go on this inner sight,
This call to arms means hold to it,
And hold tight.
All along the ditch signs of like in sinking puddles.
We stand in our civilian clothes,
On blankets laid out on a lawn,
Clouds of rain will all move on.
And when the mist clears we will see,
All of our names on a marquee,
Across the ocean the same day,
And then washed ashore a block away.

Simply beautiful.
I think it's about regrowth after war - all the chaos is gone, love and life can go back to normal, but what happened cannot be forgotten.
Here are the lyrics (including punctuation and capitalization) from the CD jacket:
Kaleidoscope Wheel of hope Place to start out from Although it started long ago the world`s work has begun
A hula hoop a human chain to warm our hands and find our way when all the lights go out a raincoat and a French beret the rolling hills of past mistakes lie quiet under cloud and I will long look to the churning sea this call to arms means wrap them around the first person you see
Dandelions in bullet holes we stand in our civilian clothes on blankets laid out on a lawn clouds of rain will all move on and when the mist clears we will see both of our names on a marquee across the ocean the same day and then washed ashore a block away
The windmill is waiting for the same thing as the slackened sail At the core within something like the wind is blowing at the veil and I will long go on this inner sight this call to arms means hold to it and hold tight
