Look at that picture, from '44
She's lookin at his shoes
He's lookin at her
She was a rebel
With a heart full of music
And he was a poet
And a soldier
Goin off to war
All she knew
Was she finally found someone
Who heard all the songs she sang inside
And all he knew
Was no matter how far he had to march
He was comin home to her smile
Oh, they are living proof
At the deepest parts of the river
The water runs smooth
Oh, I wanna be just like them
Me and you - Living proof
He'll never tell
About the bloody beaches
The family they made after
Was really all that mattered (War is hell Is all he'll say)
She says we didn't know what hit us
When your brother David
Turned out to be sick
Other couples buckled under
But your dad and I we just got stronger
Oh they are living proof
Something we can't understand
Keeps love true
Oh I wanna be just like them
Me and you - Living proof
Now she had a ramp built up to the door
She wheels him down and they go out on Friday nights
Just like they did before
