All the pictures on the wall
The sand lying on the floor
The bed upstairs still unmade

The dust float in the light

The people just left
All laughter and mess
Forgetting this and that
And rushing back

Front door open

Music still playing in one room
Down the hall
Towels on the floor

And then it's quiet

Just the bees and birds

The summer haze

Of the trees

And the air

Feeds it all

Feeds it all

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

The day before we went to war

The day before we went to war
We can all feel it

All the parasols and kids at play
The sea so still and calm

Blue as the cloudless sky
Just the gentle hum

Of the summer's goings on

Broken by the sudden rush
Of two planes

Flying low and fast
Into the sun

Into the sun

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

The day before we went to war

The day before we went to war

We can all feel it

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

The day before we went to war

The day before we went to war

The day before we went to war
