INTRO (4 times)

VERSE 1
I got a letter from Louise
she says that things are getting better
Theres more life on the streets
since the calling of the ceasefire
People are going out more
all the pubs are jumping
Every one is trying
and theyre hopeful for the future

CHORUS
And the guns are locked away now
please God, I dont care whose God
I hope theyre locked away forever

VERSE 2
She says shes keeping busy
and theres loads of things for doing
Shes moved into a new house
and times just flying by
She says I should come up again
maybe for the weekend
she says theyre throwing a party
that'll last beyond the dawn

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Halloween is on the way she says
she writes about the harvest moon
She says it will be lucky
with its feeling of re-birth
And i'm going up to see her
for the first time since the ceasefire
I'll pack my melodies and poetry
and place them in her arms

CHORUS
END
