Peacetime
In peacetime
When church bells ring
They scatter birds
Through hopeful skies
In summer fields
A straw-headed boy
With so much to find
In peacetime
And in peacetime
When fires burn
Gunpowder stars
Fill the eyes
Our shadows dance
To flames' wild song
And the dark is kind
In peacetime
Hey, yeah
In peacetime
When lovers part
There is no fear
In their goodbyes
Tomorrow's kiss
Each sour joy
Is on the mind
In peacetime
And in peacetime
When flowers bloom
They herald spring
As winter flies
No hearts undone
No mothers ache
For those left behind
In peacetime
Hey, yeah
When church bells ring
They scatter birds
Through hopeful skies
In summer fields
A straw-headed boy
With so much to find
In peacetime
And in peacetime
When fires burn
Gunpowder stars
Fill the eyes
Our shadows dance
To flames' wild song
And the dark is kind
In peacetime
Hey, yeah
In peacetime
When lovers part
There is no fear
In their goodbyes
Tomorrow's kiss
Each sour joy
Is on the mind
In peacetime
And in peacetime
When flowers bloom
They herald spring
As winter flies
No hearts undone
No mothers ache
For those left behind
In peacetime
Hey, yeah
