Date Night Lyrics
– I’m afraid you make me blush, sir
Your compliments’ so fine
I don’t think I’ll have another
Well maybe half a glass of wine
(Well maybe half a glass of wine)
How long have you been in country?
Your uniform so clean
And your handsome face, now stop it
I’m sure I don’t know what you mean
(I’m sure I don’t know what you mean)
I can’t believe it got this late
I must be getting home
Perhaps you will escort me
I live a good ways down the road
We killed them in the ditches
We killed them in the streets
We killed them in the forest
I’m the fields, and on the beach
We blew up their trains and bridges
My sister, Hannie, and I
It’s date night, and I’ve never felt so alive
So alive
That wedding band? Oh I understand
I assure you I am not that kind
Though I’m war, we all must leave some things behind
(Some things behind, some things behind)
If you can keep a secret
There’s a shortcut through the woods
Dear, I think the night air
Would do the both of us some good
We killed them in the ditches
We killed them in the streets
We killed them in the forest
I’m the fields, and on the beach
We blew up their trains and bridges
Three ghosts dancing in the pines
It’s date night, and I’ve never felt so alive
So alive
Hannie wore the storm like a like a flower’s thorn
She carried a pistol like a poem in her palm
(In her palm, in her palm)
Her courage, courage was known
Only to the torture chamber walls
Now she’s forever with the rebels of light and song
Light and song
So we killed them in the ditches
We killed them in the streets
We killed them in the forest
I’m the fields, and on the beach
We blew up their trains and bridges
My sister, Hannie, and I
It’s date night, I never felt so
It’s date night, I never felt so
It’s date night, I never felt so alive
So alive
