Love Wore a Halo (Back Before the War) 歌詞

(Nanci Griffith)
She owned a hotel on the Jersey shore
She made her living sending sailors door to door
He was the small one with a crooked smile
Oh, he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the fourth of July
She ran the numbers they say she ran em clean
Those porcelain hands could keep a ledger even in her sleep
While he worked the Seabees in the Philippines
They say she made more money than you or I will ever see
Chorus
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love, boys, you couldve found it in forty-four
cause love wore a halo back before the war
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
It was in the winter when he came home
He had to hold those porcelain hands just to keep her warm
So, they had a daughter they named her Stephanie Anne
Hey, they sent her off to Vassar to find herself a family man
Chorus
Now, she sold the hotel it belongs to me
I watch those sailors come and go like the waves in the seas
Ive hung their portraits in the honeyoon suite
I hear theyre fishin their lives away in the Florida Keys
Chorus
