1917 - Emmylou Harris[00:00:00]

A strange young man who comes to me[00:00:06]

Soldier on a three day spree[00:00:12]

He needs one night's cheap ecstasy[00:00:19]

And a woman's arms to hide him[00:00:25]

He greets me with a courtly bow[00:00:31]

And hides his pain by acting proud[00:00:37]

He drinks too much[00:00:44]

And he laughs too loud[00:00:46]

How can I deny him[00:00:50]

Let us dance beneath the moon[00:00:56]

I'll sing to you 'Claire de Lune'[00:01:02]

The morning always comes too soon[00:01:08]

But tonight the war is over[00:01:15]

He speaks to me in schoolboy French[00:01:23]

Of a soldiers life inside a trench[00:01:29]

Of the look of death and the ghastly stench[00:01:36]

I do my best to please him[00:01:42]

He puts two roses in a vase[00:01:48]

Two roses sadly out of place[00:01:53]

Like a gallant smile on his haggard face[00:02:00]

Playfully I tease him[00:02:07]

Hold me near the Paris skies[00:02:12]

Let's not talk of how or why[00:02:18]

Tomorrow's soon enough to die[00:02:24]

But tonight the war is over[00:02:31]

We make love too hard too fast[00:02:40]

He falls asleep his face a mask[00:02:45]

He wakes with the shakes[00:02:51]

And he drinks from his flask[00:02:54]

I put my arms around him[00:02:58]

They die in the trenches[00:03:03]

And they die in the air[00:03:06]

In Belguim and France[00:03:09]

The dead are everywhere[00:03:12]

They die so fast there's no time to prepare[00:03:15]

A decent grave to surround them[00:03:22]

Old world glory[00:03:28]

Old world fame[00:03:31]

The old worlds gone gone up in flames[00:03:34]

Nothing will ever be the same[00:03:39]

And nothing lasts forever[00:03:46]

Oh I'd pray for him[00:03:54]

But I've forgotten how[00:03:57]

And there's nothing[00:04:00]

Nothing that can save him now[00:04:01]

There's always another[00:04:06]

With the same funny bow[00:04:08]

And who am I to deny them[00:04:12]

Lux aeterna luce at e is[00:04:19]

Domine[00:04:22]

Cum sanctic tu is in aeternum[00:04:25]

Qui a pius es[00:04:28]

Requiem aeternaum dona e is[00:04:31]

Domine[00:04:35]

Tonight the war is over[00:04:37]

Lux aeterna luce at e is[00:04:43]

Domine[00:04:47]

Cum sanctic tu is in aeternum[00:04:49]

Qui a pius es[00:04:52]

Requiem aeternaum dona e is[00:04:54]

Domine[00:04:58]

Tonight the war is over[00:05:01]

Ah ahhh[00:05:12]
