"After The Bombs" lyrics - THE DECEMBERISTS

And after the bombs subside
And this long, low campaign
Calls it good for the night

Will we meet in the streets
Will we meet in the bar's cold light?
When we grip at our hands
Will we hold just a little tight?

[Chorus:]
After the bombs
After the bombs
Subside

And after the rockets calm
And the glimmer of fire
Portends an early dawn

Will we pinch at our skin
While we wonder how we escaped harm?
We forget all our trials
All there, in our baby's arms?

[Chorus:]
After the rockets
After the rockets
Calm

[Bridge:]
Then we'll go dancing
Won't we go dancing?
Yes we'll go dancing
'Till it all
Starts over again

[Outro:]
Then we'll go dancing
Won't we go dancing?
Yes we'll go dancing
Won't we go dancing?
'Till it all
Starts over again
