When the War Is Over Lyrics


When the war is over, got to get away
Pack my bags to no place in no time no day
You and I we used each other's shoulder
Still so young, but somehow so much older
How can I go home and not get blown awayAin't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart awayWhen the war is over, got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
You and I, we shared each other's stories
Just to think I'm lost in all its glories
How can I go home and not get blown awayYou and I had our sights set on something
Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered
I've got plans for more than ordered days
All around is chaos and madness
Cannot feel you're nothing more than sadness
Only choice, to face it the best I canWhen the war is over, got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
You and I, we shared each other's stories
Just to think I'm lost in all its glories

How can I go home and not get blown awayAin't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
...

In 2004 Eric Clapton held a three day festival in Dallas, Texas, called The Crossroads Guitar Festival, which featured J.J. Cale. This gave Clapton the opportunity to ask Cale to produce an album for him. The two started working together and eventually decided to record together. A number of high profile musicians also agreed to work on the album, including Billy Preston, Pino Palladino, Derek Trucks, Taj Mahal, John Mayer, and Doyle Bramhall II.
