Sunday, After the War lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll see you on Sunday just after the war

We'll hang up our bruised old arms on the wall

so check all your armor and guns at the door

we'll drink to the end of it all

we'll check all our armor and guns at the door

on Sunday after the war

we'll drown it in brandy, we'll drown it in wine

when all of the ships have laid anchor ashore

I'll pay for your sorrow if you'll pay for mine

when the ships have laid anchor ashore

I'll pay for your sorrow if you'll pay for mine on Sunday after the war

[Chorus]

after the war, after the war,

all the bells will be ringing after the war

after the war, after the war,

oh nothing will be as before

on Sunday just after the war

[Verse 2]

I'll see you on Sunday just after the war

we'll wipe all the mud & the blood from our boots

the grunts & the brass, volunteers & recruits

will carry their burdens no more

they'll sell off their burdens at the old surplus store

on Sunday after the war

I'll try to get used to my house & my bed

when the flags have been folded & put in the drawer

I'll try to forget what I got in my head

on Sunday just after the war

when the flags have been folded & put in the drawer

on Sunday after the war

[Chorus]

after the war, after the war,

all the bells will be ringing after the war

after the war, after the war,

oh nothing will be as before

on Sunday just after the war

[Verse 3]

the meadow is heavy with drink from our veins

& some mother's son ain't no boy anymore

I swear I won't even try to explain

how meadows & fingers are stained

if you ask me I swear I won't try to explain

on Sunday after the war

so I'll see you on Sunday just after the war

we'll cast our remembrance down in the grave

where so many others who no one could save

are smothered in brothers as brave

we'll cast our remembrance down in the grave

on Sunday after the war

[Chorus]

after the war, after the war,

they're always recruiting after the war

after the war, after the war,

will everything be as before

on Sunday just after the war
