When the War Is Over

John Farnham

When the war is over got to get away-ay
Pack my bag to no place in no time, no day-ay
You and I, we used each other's shoulder
Still so young but somehow so much older
How can I go home and not get blown away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away-ay-ay
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away-ay-ay

When the war is over got to start agai-ain
Try to hold a trace of what it was back the-en
You and I, we sent each other stories
Just a page, I'm lost in all its glories
How can I go home and not get blown away...

You and I had our sights set on something
Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered
I got plans for more than a wa-anted ma-a-a-an
All around this chaos and madness
Can't help feelin' nothing more than sadness
Only choice, to face it the be-est I ca-a-an

When the war is over got to start agai-ain
Try to hold a trace of what it was back the-e-en
You and I, we sent each other stories
Just a page, I'm lost in all its glories
How can I go home and not get blown away-ay-ay

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away-ay-ay
And not get blown right away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away-ay-ay
Don't steal my heart
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away-ay-ay
Nobody gonna steal my heart
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away-ay-ay
