Lyrics

After the wash
Before the fire
I will decay
Melt in your arms
As the day hits the night
We will sit by candlelight
We will laugh, we will sing
When the saints go marching in
A for a heart
B for a brain
Insects and grass
Are all that remain
When the light from above
Burns a hole straight through our love
We will laugh, we will sing
When the saints go marching in
And we will carry war no more
Ooh, all our love, and all of our pain
Will be but a tune
The sun and the moon
The wind and the rain
Hand-in-hand, we'll do and die
Listening to the band that made us cry
We'll have nothing to lose
We'll have nothing to gain
Just to stay in this real life situation
For one last refrain
As the day hits the night
We will sit by candlelight
We will laugh, we will sing
When the saints go marching in
And we will carry war no more
