Before the Bombs

Before the bombs Before the walls came down We would lie in the summer sun Watching the clouds pass one by one Before the fires Before the spools of barbed wire You said you would never forget What pierces deeper than the bayonet There's only one thing that'll save this place The only thing that they cannot face There's only one thing that they cannot take Love, love Before the mobs Before the inside jobs Sleeping in on borrowed time Too distracted for the minor crimes Before the war Before the troops came ashore I held you deep in my arms A fool to think that they could save you from harm There's only one thing that'll save this place The only thing that they cannot face There's only one thing that they cannot take Love, love There's only one thing that'll save this place The only thing that they cannot face There's only one thing that they cannot take Love, love Love, love Before the bombs There's only one thing that'll save this place The only thing that they cannot face There's only one thing that they cannot take Love, love Love, love Love, love Love, love
