Love During Wartime

from Jack Casually by Peter Hazen

lyrics

I can't stop thinking about you, baby
never mind the mess we're in
even though the situation looks grim
somehow you always make me forget
no matter what goes on outside our door
as long as you're here with me, I need nothing more

I keep on thinking about you, baby
never mind the global news
the bombs have been dropped and the bridges are out
the smoke is still far away, so enjoy the view
when the well runs dry we'll have to move
we'll make a run for it and hope no one is in pursuit

oh, don't you cry
even though you know we'll never make it out alive
take my hand and be strong
and into the hills we will run...

take my hand and run away with me
we've got one chance to make it safely
we'll sell our stuff and sneak off in the night
before long we'll be gone for good
no one will know we're in the woods
and get from town to town on mountain bikes

I keep on thinking about you, baby
I hope you come home soon
not that I don't know you can take care of yourself
but on these dangerous streets i'd never be too sure
even though we have to fight to survive
you and i keep a secret that keeps us alive

oh, come home soon
we can escape by the light of the moon
we'll leave it all behind
we'll start over again like it was all brand new
oh, please, be my wife
even though you know we'll never make it out alive
oh no, don't you cry
we'll go together and never have to say goodbye
