[Verse 1] The first sunrise after the night the bombs were stopped Sirens gone quiet, people easing out the doors Bread on the air from the corner ovens A man lifts the shop gate and laughs for no reason [Chorus] The visitors left no flag, no name Just open windows and kettles singing in the kitchen And one day we'll tell the children how it ended With dawn, with doors, with everybody coming back out [Verse 2] Nobody knows what to do with their hands at first So they stand in the street and look at each other Like they're checking the ground is still there Like the morning might be proof enough [Chorus] The visitors left no flag, no name Just open windows and kettles singing in the kitchen And one day we'll tell the children how it ended With dawn, with doors, with everybody coming back out
