When the war is over
We go back to every day every day
when they'll be the same again
When you've been turned inside out
and outside in

Singing from the window
Shadow on the wall the way they dance
Not much or nothing
Look at this fire burning bright

Look at how the children play
None of us know what's to come tomorrow
But I'm not going out today
So dance with me
like the time we've got is bottled

Singing from the windows
Sirens in the dark where are you going?
Pretend that is nothing
But look at this fire burning wild

This is how we keep holdin'on every day
all day long
But sometimes things just fall apart
No matter how we try
They won't stop

Singing from the window
Something outside that I don't know
When the storm is over
Picking up the pieces of every day
Memories in picture frames
Trying to put the inside out
and the outside in

Singing from the window
Walking down the hall the way they go
Be glad to see you
Suppose when it's all steady and done
This is how we keep holdin'on
all the days all day long
But sometimes things just fall apart
No matter how we try
They can't stop

Singing from the windows
Voices outside that no one knows
Singing from the windows
We'll get going again
When the war is over
