Lyrics: Woke this morning the war was over The radio was singing love songs I saw the smiles upon the soldiers Coming home across the fields... The calender said 1st of August Romance and promises of summer days I strolled unclothed into your garden To feel the warm sun on my face... The saving of the human race... Jets at dawn, trails across the sky Silver birds writing words for airmens wives Who down below, hang the washing out to dry Frilly briefs and flying helmets in a line... Jets at dawn, writing in the sky Silver planes ( vapour trails... ) Drawing Coca Cola signs To advertise above the cities and the towns Flying high across the sea beyond the clouds... Said goodbye to the others The old musicians of the past Said hello to the young things Oh, your songs are here to sing at last Drank the wine of the new vine Growing wild inside my heart I saw the future age had risen It's time to make a brand new start Time to see beyond the dark... Jets at dawn, trails across the sky Silver birds writing words for airmens wives Who down below, hang the washing out to dry Frilly briefs and flying helmets in a line... Jets at dawn, writing in the sky Silver planes ( vapour trails... ) Drawing Coca Cola signs To advertise above the cities and the towns Flying high across the sea beyond the clouds... Words and music by Bill Nelson.
