Darling when I look into your eyes
Those swimming pools of blue and grey and white
It's like the world is standing at my side
With weapons down, ready to end the fight
Darling when you reach to hold my hand
When your left thumb beats a tattoo on mine
It's like the drums of war have ceased again
And all that's left is peace, and lots of time
Darling when your arms pull me in close
To swing me in a dance around your room
It’s like we’re young again and real time slows
And I’ve forgotten everything of gloom
But when the time does come that we must part
The drums begin again, and war restarts
