[Verse 1]
I got a letter from Louise
She says that things are gettin' better
There's more life on the streets
Since the callin' of the ceasefire
People are goin' out more
All the pubs are jumpin'
Everyone is tryin'
And they're hopeful for the future

[Chorus]
And the guns are locked away now
Please God, I don't care whose God
I hope they're locked away forever

[Verse 2]
She says she's keepin' busy
And there's loads of things for doin'
She's moved into a new house
And time's just flyin' by
She says I should come up again
But maybe for the weekend
She says they're throwin' a party
That'll last beyond the dawn

[Chorus]
And the guns are locked away now
Please God, I don't care whose God
I hope they're locked away forever
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
"Halloween is on the way," she says
She writes about the harvest moon
She says, "It will be lucky
With its feeling of rebirth"
And I'm goin' up to see her
For the first time since the ceasefire
I'll pack my melodies and poetry
And place them in her arms

[Chorus]
And the guns are locked away now
Please God, I don't care whose God
I hope they're locked away forever

[Instrumental Outro]
