Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Before the bombs
Before the walls came down
We would lie in the summer sun
Watching the clouds pass one by one
[Verse 2]
Before the fires
Before the spools of barbed wire
You said you would never forget
What pierces deeper than the bayonet?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Before the mobs
Before the inside jobs
Sleeping in on borrowed time
Too distracted for the modern crimes
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Before the bomb
[Verse 9]
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
