Could be swept away without warning
At the hospital and he asylum
Saw a man build a shelter in his garden today
As we stood there idly chatting
They've filled up the blood banks and emptied the beds
Yet still, he carried on digging
I must buy whatever tinned food is left on the shelves
They paced up and down like sea birds on the ground
He said, "No, no, I don't think war will come"
They're testing the air raid sirens
Yet the birds still sing and the church bells ring
And the sun came up this morning
Before the storm clouds gathering
Life goes on as it did before
Everything in my life that I love
