Eddi Reader - Peacetime lyrics

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 And in peacetime When lovers part There is no fear In their goodbyes Tomorrow's kiss Each sour joy Is on their minds In peacetime And in peacetime When flowers bloom They herald spring As winter flies No hearts undone No mother's ache For those left behind In peacetime No hearts undone, no mother's ache For those left behind In peacetime In peacetime
