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
