Date Night

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

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 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
In 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, hey

Wedding band? Oh, I understand
I assure you I am not that kind
Though in war, we all must leave 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
In the fields and on the beach
We blew up their trains and bridges
Three ghosts dancing in the pines
It's date night, 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
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
In 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
