In Our Bedroom After the War--Stars

Wake up
Say good morning to
That sleeping 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
And 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 first day
Here it comes,
Here comes first day
It starts up in our bedroom after the war
It starts up in our bedroom after the war
After the war (repeat to end)
