after the guns are silent
After your wounds have healed
After those crosses Have been planted in all those fields
After that long boat ride All the way across the sea
And after this train carries thee Chorus;

I will love you After The War
Ill love you for always, forever more
I will love you
After The War Forever for always and more

After your boots dry
And the tobaccos all but gone
Along with all those postcards
you've carried Under your arm
After I remember All the words I couldn't say
And after this long night fades away

Chorus: I will love you After The War
Ill love you for always, forever more
I will love you After The War Forever for always and more

After this blackbird Lifts up from off your chest
And after your soul takes its final rest My love,
I forgive you You never planned to die And love,
Ill place two pennies over your eyes

Chorus: I will love you After The War I'll love you for always,
forever more I will love you After The War
Forever for always
and more
