《Love Wore A Halo (Back Before The War)》歌词

[00:00:00] Love Wore A Halo (Back Before The War) (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)

[00:00:12] She owned a hotel

[00:00:14] On the Jersey shore

[00:00:17] She made her living sending

[00:00:19] Sailors door to door

[00:00:23] He was the small one

[00:00:25] With a crooked smile

[00:00:28] Oh he made her eyes light up

[00:00:30] Like the heavens on the fourth of July

[00:00:34] She ran the numbers

[00:00:36] They say she ran 'em clean

[00:00:39] Those porcelain hands

[00:00:41] Keep a ledger even in her sleep

[00:00:45] While he worked the

[00:00:46] Seabees in the Philippines

[00:00:50] They say she made more money

[00:00:52] Than you or I will ever see

[00:00:56] Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore

[00:01:01] If you were looking for love boys

[00:01:03] You could've found it in forty-four

[00:01:07] Cause love wore a halo back before the war

[00:01:13] When the men loved the women

[00:01:14] And the women knew what men were for

[00:01:24] It was in the winter when he came home

[00:01:29] He had to hold those porcelain hands

[00:01:32] Just to keep her warm

[00:01:35] So they had a daughter

[00:01:37] They named her Stephanie Anne

[00:01:40] Hey they sent her off to Vassar

[00:01:42] To find herself a family man

[00:01:46] Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore

[00:01:51] If you were looking for love boys

[00:01:53] You could've found it in forty-four

[00:01:57] Cause love wore a halo back before the war

[00:02:03] When the men loved the women

[00:02:04] And the women knew what men were for

[00:02:19] She sold the hotel it belongs to me

[00:02:25] And I watch those sailors come

[00:02:26] And go like the waves in the seas

[00:02:30] I've hung their portraits

[00:02:33] In the honeyoon suite

[00:02:36] And I hear they're fishin' their

[00:02:37] Lives away in the Florida Keys

[00:02:42] Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore

[00:02:47] If you were looking for love boys

[00:02:49] You could've found it in forty-four

[00:02:53] Cause love wore a halo back before the war

[00:02:59] When the men loved the women

[00:03:00] And the women knew what men were for

[00:03:04] When the men loved the women

[00:03:05] And the women knew what men were for

[00:03:10] When the men loved the women

[00:03:11] And the women knew what men were for
