Everything still
Everything silent
As after the rain
We lie here listening
To night close down
Stare like a child
Wait for the signs
To decide once again
Just when they looked here to stay
We're to leave
Our world, our air
It really isn't fair
Outside they sing
"The war is over
Raise your blinds
The war is over
Tell your deepest dark
Goodbye"
A distant waltz
Turns in the head
Of an old lady's night
Waiting hands unfold
Within the dark
ย
Lighting her lamp
Seeing Prince Albert
Recalling the sight
They waltz again
Through the park
Floorboards creak
Beneath the moon
The room below just sighs
Outside they sing
"The war is over
Raise your blinds
The war is over
Let me get some sleep
Tonight"
ย
Everything still
Everything silent
As after the rain
Still we are
After the rain
