All this time I´ve been hanging on
To an edge I caught when we both were young
That the world I won wasn´t near enough
Always distant, always all

In all that war, I´d forgotten how
Many men might die for what I´d renounced
I was staging life as a battleground
No I let that grasping fall

May the last long year be forgiven
All that war left within it
I couldn´t, though I´m beginning to

And we´ve only made it together
Feel some change in the weather
I couldn´t, though I´m beginning to

And though it´s all so uncertain, cold
All the rafters cracked, all the copper sold
There´s a ration back in a manifold
If you need it or forgot

May the last long year be forgiven
All that war left within it
I couldn´t, though I´m beginning to

And we´ve only made it together
Feel some change in the weather
I couldn´t, though I´m beginning to

And somehow I see
It´s free

And with love and hate in the balance
One last way past the malice
One warm day´s all I really need

And with love and hate in the balance
One last way past the malice
One warm day is all I really need
