When the War Is Over Songtext
von Lindisfarne

When the war is over
We can be kind again
You can be my lover
I will be your friend
And the drunkard in the gutter
Who′s laughing at the moon
Will have whisky and dry ginger
Served from a silver spoon

And the phonies and the cop-outs
The lonelies and the weird
In one single moment
Will brush away their fears

When the war is over
No battles to be won or lost
No one to claim the victory
No one cares to count the cost


And the children will be the teachers
Their lessons will be so clear
To see with open eyes
To hear with open ears
And you will understand me
It's easy you will find
To reach with open arms
To speak with open mind

When the war is over
No battles to be won or lost
No one to claim the victory
No one cares to count the cost

When the war is, when the war is
When the war is over
When the war is, when the war is
When the war is over
When the war is, when the war is
When the war is over
When the war is all over
When the war is all over
