There are soldiers marching on the common today
C F CThey were there again this evening
Am GThey paced up and down like sea birds on the ground
Before the storm clouds gathering
Am C G AmI must buy whatever tinned food is left on the shelves
C F CThey are testing the air raid sirens
They've filled up the blood banks and emptied the beds
Am G AmAt the hospital and the asylum
Am C G AmI saw a man build a shelter in his garden today
And we stood there idly chatting
Am GHe said: "No, no I don't think war will come"
Am G AmYet still he carried on digging
Everything in my life that I love
C F CCould be swept away without warning
Am GYet the birds still sing and the church bells ring
And the sun came up this morning
Am GLife goes on as it did before
Am G AmAs the country drifts slowly to war
