lyrics

As the bomb falls down
You don't have to say a word
Close your eyes, my dear
It's over soon

She's a modern girl
And her eyes are closing tight
As the shrapnel hits the bedroom wall
And that's all

He's a writer man
And his book is almost done
Chapter seventeen
The final scene

As his pen goes down
A distraction's overcome
As she steals one kiss and whispers true
"I love you"

And she hold him tight
With the strangest smile you've seen
With her breath so warm
She whispers on

As the bomb falls down
"You don't have to say a word;
Close your eyes my dear,
It's over soon ... it's over soon."
